December 2, 2023

OUTLOOK:

Rainfall pushing NE

Periods of rainfall overnight and showers on and off through Sunday. Overall rainfall amounts look like .3 to .6 through Sunday pm. Colder air pushing in Sunday Night and Monday with limited moisture left available.

As we go through Tuesday the next wave of precip begins working in during the pm hours in the form of snow across the higher elevations. Periods of snow Tuesday night in to Wednesday. Accumulations are looking likely. Mainly in the order of 1-3″, with favored upslope zones 2-5″ totals by Wednesday pm with potential isolated pockets of 5″+. The initial accumulation from Tuesday pm past midnight may struggle below 3000′ with marginal temps. Temps continue to fall in to Wednesday a.m at daybreak and hold steady through the day with continued snow showers.

Updated post on that in the coming days. Nothing huge but Wednesday a.m travel across the high ground may have some issues.
