Bear Valley, CA…Hey Good People! Mattly’s weather forecast for Saturday. Well…….the system that is currently here is somewhat of a lack luster affair. We have picked up 4″ of new snow overnight and 5″ total for the storm so far. That’s a far cry from the potential 12-18″ but…………it’s snowing and we are all super stoked to see any snow fall from the sky. Today we may pick up 2-4″ of new snow depending on how the low centered over Reno this morning moves southward and what it feels it would like to spin off in our direction. Cold air is in the mix today and tomorrow as the 5am temp reading at our study plot showed 12F so conditions should be ripe for some lite pow riding this morning. The high today will be around 22F with a West wind up to 10mph so riding and skiing should be great today with the freshening up of new snow. Sunday will bring cold overnight temps again with clearing skies as the low heads Southwest and the daytime high will be about 10F warmer than today and that trend looks to continue into Tuesday before another pool of cold air out of Canada shows face. The following weekend shows some activity from the 6-10day model runs but I’ll address that later in the week as a few more days are needed to sus out a more solid forecast for that time frame……

We continue the hopeful path to the 400″ season I keep suggesting. I’m still sticking with it…..let’s hope it still rings true for the season!

Cheers,
Mattly
