Yesterday was sunny with light winds out of the west and today will be similar: more sun, calm winds and mountain temperatures in the upper twenties. Clouds will increase tonight from a moist southwest flow, but I’m not expecting any snowfall. By tomorrow morning the temperatures will be unseasonably warm in the valleys and below freezing in the mountains. Looking into my fuzzy crystal ball I do not see any significant snowstorms in the coming week, but then again it’s fuzzy, like my brain at 4 a.m.
