Discussion: | The National Weather Service Forecasts- TODAY...WINDY...RAIN. TEMPERATURES STEADY AROUND 42. SOUTHEAST TONIGHT...RAIN. LOWS AROUND 37. SOUTHEAST WIND 10 TO 20 MPH WEDNESDAY...RAIN. HIGHS AROUND 42. SOUTHEAST WIND 15 TO 25 MPH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...RAIN. LOWS AROUND 38. SOUTHEAST WIND 10 TO Temperatures have been quite warm around the region. The Tram is showing 38f this morning. Up over 4 degrees from yesterday. Eaglecrest is showing 34f on top. 37f at powder patch and 40f at the base area. We received a great deal of precipitation in the last 24 hours as well with Eaglecrest showing 32mm and the Tram showing 35mm. This came mostly in the form of rain and we lost 10cm at the tram and 9cm at Eaglecrest. Winds continue to be quite strong. The tram has picked up quite a bit with winds 30-45 gusting to 60. Eaglecrest is slightly less with winds from 20-30 gusting 45 out of the SE. With another 1=\" of rain in the forecast for the next 24 hours avalanche danger remains Considerable. Natural avalanches remain possible as do human triggered avalanches. As we continue with this warm wet weather the snowpack develops the ability to process the water. Until then the precipitation adds additional stress to the snowpack. As the precip rates and winds slow this evening accompanied with cooler temperatures avalanche danger will decrease. Any avalanches in the urban environment are expected to be small in size. |
