Discussion: | The National Weather Service Forecasts- TODAY...SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS LIKELY. SNOW ACCUMULATION TO 1 INCH. HIGHS AROUND 35. EAST WIND 10 MPH. TONIGHT...RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS LIKELY...BECOMING ALL SNOW LATE. SNOW ACCUMULATION AROUND 1 INCH. LOWS AROUND 30. EAST WIND 10 MPH. TUESDAY...SNOW SHOWERS MIXING WITH RAIN AT TIMES. SNOW Temperatures fell ever so slightly overnight and are to remain cool today. At the time of this forecast we had received about 3\" of new snow at the Eaglecrest UAS Weather Station. The Mt Roberts Weather Station is down so we have no current reading from along the channel at elevation. Winds have been calm along the channel. Eaglecrest has seen some higher winds with averages from 10-20mph. The forecast for today calls for mild winds and additional snow. We may see upwards of 6\" by tomorrow as this front continues. Avalanche danger is LOW to Moderate. Natural avalanches unlikely, potentially destructive avalanches unlikely to come near or reach developed areas. Human triggered avalanches possible in windloaded areas especially as this frontal system continues. The likelyhood of human triggered avalanches at the time of this forecast is not very good yet with continued precip this likelyhood is growing. If your out in the hills today be sure to watch as the snow piles up and make your own assesments. Low is the current rating. Heading towards Moderate if the weather forecast holds. Should we receive a great deal more snow tan in the forecast danger levels may rise additionally. |
