A ridge of high pressure lasts through Friday.  A small system comes in from the west on Saturday.  With this weekend’s avalanche class, I’ll provide both model forecasts for the Saturday system for our patrol zone and for Berthoud.  They are: Patrol Zone: Canadian, WRF, and NAM Models: 1.5” European Model: 1” American and UKMet […]
