Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik on
Thursday morning, March 26, 2020
The avalanche danger is generally LOW today. The recent increase in wind speeds may have created some drifts along the upper ridges on east facing slopes. Watch for cracking within drifts which indicates that they may be prone to avalanching.

Weather and Snow
Current Conditions: Southwest wind slowed a bit but is still in the moderate speed range along the ridges. Light snow is falling in the mountains this morning with just a trace of new so far. Overnight temperatures were in the low to mid 20s.
Mountain Weather: Unsettled weather will continue into early next week. We'll see a couple of periods of snow today and Friday which should add 2 to 5 inches of new snow. Wind should slow down more as the day progresses and switch northwest. It will stay that direction and remain fairly light through the weekend. Saturday looks like potentially the nicest day but it does look like we'll see some clouds. Sunday brings more chances for snow and we should see a few more inches of accumulation.
