For 3/4/10: For Today: This next wave of pacific moisture is continuing it’s slow approach with high clouds early today expected to build over the course of the day with snow on tap by the early evening. This system will start out warm with a cold front settling in to combine with the warmer wet southern flow providing pretty good dynamics and the best chance at a productive shot of snow we have seen in a while. Don’t get too excited because the moisture is limited but this combination has the potential to fuel a few strong squally showers.

Overnight lows were about what we have been seeing with Crested Butte reporting 7 degrees this morning and Gunnison dropped to 0. Daytime highs will remain warm through most of the afternoon with sun mixing with high clouds reaching the low 30’s for all elevations. Tonight’s lows will be harder to predict likely hitting around 10 degrees.

Today will present a full mixed bag of conditions with these dynamics building into the area with this next storm. Thundersnow will not be out of the question as we see a strong convective dynamic this evening with the warm and cold coming together. Snow totals will top out between 4-6” but getting there should be an interesting process.
