Enjoying a nice weekend out there with slightly warmer temperatures and dry conditions. Another series of winter storms will impact the area this week bringing a round of wintry weather with significant snowfall possible later in the week. High pressure will strengthen today for fair and warmer weather as highs reach the lower 50's this afternoon.Our next storm will approach the area tomorrow with clouds and winds on the increase later in the day. Temperatures will remain near-normal with southwest winds gusting to 25 mph by afternoon. This first system will likely dig south of us, somewhat limiting precipitation totals, but expect showers Monday night with snow showers into Tuesday morning. The snow level is forecast to lower to around 5,500 feet with a couple inches of snow possible. We'll get a short break Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday ahead of our next major winter storm. At this time, this storm looks to move in Wednesday afternoon with the heaviest arriving Wednesday night into Thursday. The snow level is currently projected to start out near 5,000 feet on Wednesday but should fall to around 3,000 feet on Thursday. Preliminary snowfall totals of 8-16 inches are possible with this storm before it departs the area on Friday, but more unsettled weather is possible next weekend. This is still a little ways out so the exact timing and totals will be refined in the coming days, check back often for updates! If you have travel plans into the mountains, always be prepared for winter weather driving conditions and carry chains!
