Current Conditions: Again, this little weather disturbance that's been moving through exceeded my expectations with up to 8 inches of new snow in the last 24 hours. The central and southern Skyline have been favored in the northwest flow with totals since Thursday in the 10 to 14 inch range. The north end around Fairview Canyon is at about 7 inches new since Thursday. The wind has been fairly well behaved but it has been a little breezy from the northwest along the higher exposed ridges. Temperatures stayed in the teens on Friday and dropped down to around 10˚F overnight.
Mountain Weather: We'll have a break in the snowfall today with cloudy skies, high temperatures in the upper teens to around 20, and decreasing wind from the west northwest. The flow shifts this afternoon and wind will be from the southwest. It will bump up in speed a bit but I'm not expecting it to get all that strong. Another storm moves in tonight that should bring another decent amount of snow. There is one component with the storm that may not be favorable for maximum snowfall but we should see at least 5 inches of new snow by Monday and perhaps up to 10 inches if all goes well. Another storm is advertised for midweek.
