Mix of clouds and sun and strong warm sw breezes. Few showers late day. A few remaining patches of snow amongst the Rhodedendron at Bittinger 2nw Valley. I took pics, but phone for some reason did not save.

Temps at Bittinger 2nw Valley and Cabin Mt 4350. Also national temp profile this afternoon

Dissectingthe near term. As colder air pushes into the north overnight into tomorrow, it looks to set up a very tight temp gradient. Looking at a few of the models.

First up the 12z ECMWF(Aka euro)

 

Next the 3km Nam(18z)

Super Swiss HD

Areas where freezing rain may occur. 3km nam likely overdone, 12z ECMWF likely missing a little of it, the Super Swiss likely too far south. But overall theme in general is typical freezing rain areas that commonly occur in the area will have a shot. Likely east facing slopes at the highest spots. This may extend to Bear Rocks. I’d suspect a huge temp range tomorrow for a time at Bear Rocks back to Cabin Mt. Mainly north along Savage Mt, which is situated often to be the prime location. Meadow Mt, and possibly Mt. Davis and the northern 1/2 of Negro Mt. Dans Mt as well. While its 30-34 in these areas, 46-56 Canaan and 60s Parsons to Elkins.

Here are the modeled ice maps(Again 3km nam will overkill precip)
