Cool temperatures continue this weekend with quiet, sunny weather. As the California low mentioned in our previous discussion slowly drifts into the desert Southwest over the beginning of the upcoming week, we’ll see an increase in moisture from the south starting on Wednesday in Northern Utah. With the bulk of the moisture from this system arriving on Thursday and Friday. While not a particularly cool system, it is likely that we’ll see snow high in the mountains. At this time, we are not expecting anything significant, and any snow that does fall will be of the wet variety–good base building snow.
Beyond that, signs are pointing to an unsettled and cool pattern continuing. GFS (computer model) in particular has been very consistent for the last 5 or 6 runs with a trough entering the area from the northwest during the weekend with another stronger trough on its heels for early in the week of October 15. This is the type of pattern that, if it verifies, could go a long way to building a base for the Wasatch. Good news! So anyway, while this pattern is still very much developing in the models, it is looking increasingly likely that at the very least, Autumn is here to stay.
Keep praying for snow!
