San Juan Mountains Weather: Spring in the Mountains, Unsettled

San Juan Mountains Weather: Spring in the Mountains, Unsettled

SJ-Weather_withJR_small-square_web

 

A pleasant but windy day on tap with increasing clouds later this afternoon & tonight. Much like our Wed/Thur storm, vicious winds will again create another dust event putting desert grit in the air & snow mixing with Sunday’s precipitation. Currently a Gulf of Alaska system is merging with a low off the NW coast bringing moisture, colder air and unsettled weather into next week.

This unsettled atmosphere will impact the San Juans, favoring southwest through west facing aspects beginning Sunday afternoon/evening and continuing into Monday.  We could see 3-6″ of new snow from this spring storm.  Models are not in agreement on handling the next low pressure trough that is forming by mid-week, but show unsettled and wet weather through most of next week. Really enjoy the uncertain spring mix in our southern mountains.
