Look's like December will Roar in here like a Lion!

        Today will be fair and mild with increasing clouds and breezes later in the day. Tomorrow morning we’ll be brushed by a weak system moving by to our north and east. Only a slight chance for showers in the Wasatch tomorrow morning with the highest chances close to the Idaho border. Snow levels will be relatively high near 7,000 ft and we don’t expect anything more than a dusting anywhere. Temps will drop by 10 degrees or so behind the front on Monday, but will warm up as a ridge rebuilds through Wednesday.
     
       Attention then turns to the next, more significant system dropping down from the Gulf of AK. It will mostly affect coastal areas of California, Oregon and Washington through the end of the work week. We’ll be under a moist southwest flow so it is possible to see a couple showers on Thursday/Friday, but it won’t be until later in the day on Saturday (Dec 1) that the system will really start to move inland. Still a lot of questions as to the overall strength and how well this system will hold together as it moves across the Great Basin, but we think it definitely has potential to be significant. Snow levels will likely be well above the valley floors so it could be another good base-building wet snow for the resorts. Lots of details still have to be worked out but next weekend looks to be our return to active weather. Stay tuned . . .
