High Pressure Hypnosis

TL;DR:

High Pressure ridge hanging over the area for today bringing cold temps and some sunshine today.

Nowcast:

Good morning and I hope everyone is staying warm! Even with the sun poking out today expect temperatures up in the mountains to be around 10-15°F with light southwesterly winds. Wind chill will keep the temperatures feeling low so make sure to pack some extra layers and sunscreen.

Short term:

As the last storm rolls out of our area, this high pressure system will be pushing its way into Utah. Expect more clear skies and cold temps through the next 36 hours. Sunny days will make your right turns look better!

Long term:

It's looking a bit dry throughout the week with little to no chance of precipitation, get out and enjoy the sun while it's out. Another Low pressure system is developing off the coast and should be rolling into Utah through the weekend into early next week. This next cycle is too far out for the models to agree on what it will exactly bring in, as always stay positive and keep the stoke up for this amazing winter we've had so far.
