Another weaker disturbance will rotate throught he area overnight with snow showers continuing, cold and windy with lows in the mid to lower 20s, southwest winds gusting 10-20 mph at times. Continued cold and windy on Tuesday with scattered snow showers, though we will get some breaks in the action with a high near freezing, southwest winds 20-30 mph with gusts near 50 mph possible late in the day as our next storm approaches. This system will arrive Tuesday night into Wednesday, bringing a reinforcing shot of colder air and heavy snow with blizzard-like conditions possible. Intense snowfall rates of 2-3 inches per hour will be possible through early Wednesday. The snow level could also drop as low as 3,000 feet on Wednesday. Snow showers will persist into Thursday as one last disturbance moves through the area, bringing total weekly snowfall accumulations in the 1–2-foot range, with locally higher amounts near 3 feet possible. Skies will gradually clear out on Friday with fair weather returning over the weekend; however, additional storms are on the radar for next week and through the end of the month. We will make up for a lot of lost ground in snowfall after a very wet start to our winter season! If you have travel plans this week in the mountains, be prepared for dangerous driving conditions in near white-out and blizzard-like conditions. Travel is not recommended this week!
