| The main storm system has passed through the area leaving us in a very cold and unstable environment with snow showers continuing, occasionally heavy with thundersnow possible. The snow level will drop to around 2,500 feet with gusty southwest winds to 30 mph, making for extremely treacherous travel. Snow showers will taper off a bit through Friday morning, increasing again by afternoon as one last system moves through our area. Continued cold and windy with highs in the 30's and lows in the teens. Snowfall accumulations remain on target with most areas picking up 1-2 feet of snow, with even more at local resorts! Additional accumulations of 4-8 inches are possible through Friday night as conditions remain cold and unsettled. Skies will clear for another amazing blue-bird weekend with fair and slightly warmer weather returning, at least temporarily. Daytime temperatures will climb back into the 40's on Saturday, even reaching the lower 50's on Sunday. A weaker storm is forecast to affect the area early next week with more rain and snow showers possible later Monday into Tuesday before we get a little longer period of dry weather. However, there are hints of another storm brushing the area next weekend. If planning to travel into the mountains through this weekend, be prepared for extremely hazardous winter weather driving conditions, pack a flashlight, extra food, water & warm clothing in case you become stranded, and always carry chains!
