Wednesday Recap
Wednesday was very warm, with on-mountain high temperatures in the upper 40s. Wow!
Thursday (March 27)
Thursday will be the final very warm day with high temperatures again in the upper 40s.
During midday and afternoon, clouds will build, and this could limit heating and keep temperatures just a bit cooler than on Wednesday.
The lower part of the atmosphere is dry, so any precipitation that falls from the clouds should evaporate before it hits the ground. That said, there might be enough motion in the clouds to create a few lightning strikes.
Storms Return
There will be four storms coming up in the next 10 days. Here are the details…
Friday (March 28)
Friday will start with dry weather with a high temperature in the low 40s, then from Friday afternoon through Friday night, snow showers will bring 1-4 inches of snow.
Saturday (March 29)
Saturday should start with some fresh snow that fell on Friday night, though the new snow will be on top of a firm melt/freeze base, so conditions could be odd. Saturday's weather will likely be mostly dry and mostly cloudy with a high temperature in the 30s.
On Saturday night, the second storm will bring snow.
Sunday (March 30)
Sunday morning should once again start off with new snow on the ground. I think Saturday night's storm will deliver 2-4 inches of accumulation, and there could be more accumulation on Sunday morning. Sunday's conditions could be softer than Saturday thanks to this additional snow. The temperature on Sunday should be in the 30s.
Monday (March 31)
Monday should be dry with partly cloudy skies and a high in the 30s.
Tuesday & Wednesday (April 1-2)
The third storm in the sequence should bring snow on Tuesday and Wednesday. I have high confidence that there will be a storm but low confidence in the details of the storm's timing or the amount of snow. That said, I am penciling in 4-8 inches of accumulation with some powder possible on one or both of these days.
Longer Range
The end of next week could be dry (April 3-4), and then the fourth storm could bring snow during the weekend of April 5-6.
