Forecast Summary
Colorado
Presidents Day
Scattered snow showers throughout the day. I am not expecting much accumulation. Temperatures will be around 30 with strong winds with 40 mph gusts. Southern mountains will likely be skunked with this first wave but will get in on the action Tuesday night. Bluebird skies for Presidents Day with temperatures in the upper 30’s and light winds 10-15 mph.
Tomorrow
Similar to Presidents Day, but a litter more wind, expect 30-40 mph gusts as the storm rolls in tomorrow afternoon.
Tuesday Night
Snow begins around Midnight. I am expecting around 2-4 to 3-5 for most mountains before the lifts open on Wednesday. I will dial in the totals this afternoon for tomorrows post.
Utah
Today
Mostly cloudy today with scattered snow showers possible this afternoon. Temperatures will be in the mid 20’s with moderate winds 10-15 mph. Tonight, we could squeeze a couple of inches out of the atmosphere by morning, so I’ll say 1-3 overnight for the upper elevations.
Tomorrow
Here we go, heavy snow throughout the day with high temperatures in the mid 20’s. Expect strong winds 20-25 with 35 mph gusts. Wind chills will be in the single digits. Bring your clear goggles.
Tomorrow Night
Heavy snow! It will be deep for first chair Wednesday.
Wednesday
Another “ride the storm” day as the snow continues. Moderate to strong winds expected. Wednesday night the storm will exit with the next system coming in Thursday night.
