Summary: We have a large spiraling storm moving in to the inter-mountain region to our west, the next 24 hours. The mountains will go a long way towards breaking it up, with time. But it will dump another 3-12 inches on the slopes out west, and snow showers are expected, east of the Divide, Friday evening into early Saturday.
After that, breezy winds will clear our skies out Saturday morning, and all winds turn towards the west thereafter, a clear down-sloping situation…a chinook wind…which eats up cloud cover and warms temps up fast. Therefore, the aforementioned warm up into the 40s for early next week is becoming a lock.
And, after early Saturday, I expect dry times…at least into Thursday of next week…
