Wednesday – Saturday:
We stay in a dry pattern into the weekend. Highs into the 50s on the mountain and near 60 degrees at the base.
Breezy winds up top Thursday – Friday with gusts of 30-40+ mph. Saturday ridgetop winds could be gusting up to 50+ mph from the southwest.
Sunday:
Still sunny but a slight cooldown for Sunday. Highs in the 50s with 40s up top. Ridgetop winds gusting up to 50-60+ mph.
Monday System/Cooldown:
A cold front moves through Monday with highs dropping into the 40s and even 30s up top above 8000 ft. The forecast models are all over the place with whether or not we see precipitation. For now, we are going with a 50/50 chance of snow showers for later Monday morning through Monday evening.
If we see snow showers we could see a dusting up to a couple of inches of snow on the upper mountain. We will continue to fine-tune the forecast as we get closer. Ridgetop winds could continue to gust 40-50+ mph.
Long-Range:
We may see another break Tuesday into Wednesday with mostly sunny skies but staying cooler. Highs in the 40s at the base and 30s up top.
Additional weak systems are possible later next week and through the 2nd week of April. We will continue to watch the trends and fine-tune the details on any storms as we get closer.
