Forecast Discussion
Low pressure will continue to pull away to the northeast and into the Canadian Maritimes today. The back edge of the moderate to heavy precipitation has just moved past the higher summits but light snow should continue to fall in its wake. Winds will switch to a northwesterly direction and conditions will become favorable for upslope snow and snow showers through the day today and into tonight, but the trend will be decreasing chances with time. The change in wind direction will also usher in colder temperatures and readings will fall through the day. This means that high temperatures for the day have likely already occurred and this will be the same for tomorrowâ€Ös high temperatures. Wind speeds will also increase and there is plenty of new snow available for transport in the form of blowing and drifting. This will severely reduce visibility above treeline. A wind chill advisory will go into effect at midnight and last through the forecast period as winds remain steady and temperatures continue to fall. High pressure will begin building into the region tomorrow and the airmass should start to dry out. This means that the summits will likely start to clear from the clouds later in the day tomorrow.
