Precipitation is building in from West to East across the forecast area. This is from the shortwave I mentioned yesterday which is in advance of the front that will be approaching later today.
Here is the 3:45 am radar
The radar returns are more impressive than what is actually reaching the ground. But don’t be surprised to see a few light scattered showers with some snow mixed in above 8,200 feet this morning. Snow levels will quickly increase throughout the day.
Tonight the main precipitation maker moves in, but this event will mainly be restricted to areas around Red Mountain Pass. Other areas above 9,000 feet will be impacted, but with less snow.
