Forecast Discussion

High pressure will clear the skies today and allow plenty of sunshine to fall upon the summits for the first time in many days. Remaining lower level moisture may provide for undercast conditions early in the day. Tonight, clouds will build in ahead of an approaching cold front. The summits will become obscured by morning, with temperatures falling, winds increasing, and the chance for snow showers as the front passes through.
