No April Fools; 3 Storms in 7 Days
The powder days aint over yet as we are tracking 3 storms in the next 7 days. The middle storm is quite large for this time of year and will bring powder to the mountain.
Storm 1 (4/1 - 4:00 am - 4/3 - 2:00am)
Storm 1 will last slightly less than 48 hours. This is a fairly weak storm and a very warm storm. I expect snow levels to start in the neighborhood of 9,000-10,000 feet. Eventually those levels will drop to the 7,000 foot range. There will be strong shadowing and I expect only light rain/snow for the Carson Range.
Storm 2 (4/5 - 2:00pm - 4/6 - 11:00pm)
This is a much larger storm and is the storm we talked about in past posts that we have been tracking for late in the first week in April. However, this storm is very fast moving and will clear the area in about 36 hours. It will be cooler and has the possibility of bringing very strong winds to the area.
If this storm stalls or is delayed, it could mean a major event for the area. We will have to keep an eye on it.
Storm 3 comes almost on the heels of storm 2. It is probably going to cut north and just graze our area.
Looking down the road, we could see a fairly dry period starting around 7th or 8th and lasting a week. Of course, that could change as the El Nino beast is still out there and not weakening. Look for near average temperatures during the 2nd week in April.
Stay Tuned ...
