Current Conditions: Typical for spring, the new snow became damp Monday on all aspects except the highest elevation northerly facing slopes. The mountains received about an inch of snow overnight. Temperatures were in the mid teens overnight. Westerly wind spiked a bit late Monday and has slowed again.

Mountain Weather: The big picture is that today's low pressure trough is splitting and wanting to dive further south than its original track. This is not as favorable for our area and it looks like snow and water amounts will be less according to this morning's weather model runs. We should see snow this afternoon and into tonight. I'm expecting 2 to 4 inches now. High temperatures will be in the mid 20s today and northwest wind will be light this morning and increasing a bit later today. Wednesday looks pretty nice with sun and a bit warmer temperatures. Another storm is shaping up for Thursday night but this one looks as if it wants to split also and dive south. We should still get a shot of snow though.
