If there's a silver lining to the east wind, it's that the east wind carries with it no dust layer or anything else blowing in from the west desert or the once Great Salt Lake. Look at the weather map below. The storm parked over Arizona is, yes, the same storm that arrived on our doorstep last Tuesday/Wednesday. This meddlesome cyclone has essentially been spinning its wheels over Arizona, kicking 2-4' of snow into parts of southern Colorado and the Grand Canyon state while we've been left holding the bag of strong east wind.
Currently, skies are mostly clear, temps are in the low 30s, and winds remain from the east, blowing 15-20mph. Along the highest ridgelines, winds are blowing 25-30mph with gusts to 40.
For today, the last day of winter, we'll see mostly sunny skies, diminishing winds, and temps again skyrocketing into the upper 30s to upper 40s. It'll be warm and sunny for most of the week. A weak brush-by storm passes to the north on Thursday. An active weather pattern returns late weekend. In the meantime, enjoy all the glory that the Wasatch has to offer.
Yesterday, there were reports of wet loose snow avalanches on solar aspects in the afternoon hours.
