Bitter(cold) Sun Symphony

 TL;DR:

Sunny vibes out today so grab your Zinc and PBRs, but don't forget to bundle up.

Nowcast:

Mr. Sunshine is peaking out for another day! Pack your base layers as the high for today is around 34°F with a windchill in the low teens. Make sure you bring some zinc for your nose and enjoy the apres.

Short term:

Not much to report on for the next day or so. Low pressure system over the Great Plains seems to be moving south pretty rapidly, keeping Utah in a small dry spell. This system is pushing the high pressure ridge out, cueing up the next storm system for an easy entrance into our area.

Long term:

As the next Storm develops off the coast, there is a good potential for a storm early next week. GDPS seeing precip on Tuesday but other models are not yet seeing anything. As always keep an eye out for more forecasts here on Utah Ski Wx.
