06 Dec San Juan Mountains Weather: 12/06/2013
A low pressure trough is forming over the Pacific NW today while cold temps and scattered mid level clouds remain in western Colorado. Another very cold day and night ahead as clouds spread into the area ahead of the approaching trough. By early Saturday SW flow will develop as the low pressure system moves through the Great Basin with a little moisture.
Warmer moist air associated with this low will mix with colder air combined with orographic lift & pushed by the jet just south of us will provide good opportunity for San Juan Mountain snow. Recent models of course are not in agreement with timing and snow amounts, but it looks like later in the day Saturday snow will begin in our mountains and continue Saturday night into Sunday. We should see at least 12″ or more above 11,000′ on SW facing terrain.
