Weather will continue to be warm and sunny through Saturday. Clouds will arrive on Sunday, followed by snow and colder temperatures on Monday and Tuesday. It’s a complex system with a brief low pressure forming and some potential jet assist, but there is probably not enough moisture over our patrol zone for a big storm. Here are the various model forecasts for snowfall from the system:
5” – American Model
4” – European Model
3” – Icon Model
2” – Canadian and UK Met Models
Then, there may be another inch of snow on Friday (per the Canadian Model) or Saturday (per the American Model).
Cheers.

Geeky Notes:
References to the American Model are to the American (GFS) Model grid including Brainerd Lake with an average elevation of 9,439’. References to the Canadian Model are the Canadian (GDPS) Model grid including Brainerd Lake with an average elevation of 10,253’. References to the WRF Model are the CAIC WRF Hi-Res Model point forecast for Eldora Ski Area with an elevation of 9,189’. References to the European Model are to the European (ECMWF) Model on a point with my cursor at my best estimate of Eldora Ski Area. For big picture overviews, I tend to rely on the American Model, not because I think it is the most accurate, but because (i) it is free and (ii) I like its interface.
