20 Nov San Juan Mountains Weather: Another Storm Before Turkey Day
Thickening clouds are beginning to stream into the San Juans today with a moisture source stretching from Hawaii. The first wave of energy in the Great Basin should reach us by mid to late afternoon today bringing the potential of snow, 4-8″ with a bit more for favored locations above TL tonight through Thursday night. Cold air arriving late Thursday should help with snow production along with perfect SSW wind speeds (12-18 mph) for transporting snow and soft slab formation.
A closed low over southern California will spin moisture into our mountains on Friday morning with forecast models calling for a foot or more of additional snow. Several models are calling for 18-24″ of snow above 9,000′ for the San Juans by Friday afternoon but confidence in the second system isn’t strong so the previous snow totals could be cut in half. Both storms will have winds (SSW) but not like last weekend. As always, we wait and see.
