A bit more of this unprecedented heat – and please be careful out there as the snowpack faces a heat it usually doesn’t face until May – but then there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.
This weekend is mostly sunny with highs in the upper 50s in our patrol zone.
Then, around Wednesday April 1 the weather looks to change for the better with cooler temperatures and hopefully some snow.
Here are the model forecasts for the snow on Wednesday April 1:
5” – European and American Models
2” – Canadian Model
And here are the model forecasts for snow between April 2 and 4:
8” – European Model
1” – Canadian and American Models
Fingers’ crossed for an end to this awful weather. 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 European Model are the European (ECMWF IFS) Model grid including Brainerd Lake. 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 Icon and UKMet Models are to the 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.
