Just a little longer

 TL;DR:

Happy Friday! Enjoy the sunshine today and get your tan on while you can. This weekend should give us enough time to soak up the sun and prepare for the next storm cycle.

Nowcast:

Beautiful day up at the Bird today. High in the mid 30's with no shortage of sunshine. There will be light south - southwesterly winds. For now it is the calm before the storm.

Short term:

Going into the weekend, we can expect a transition into some more exciting stuff. The RDPS and NAM models are both predicting some precipitation late Saturday night into early Sunday morning.

Long term:

After this potential stint of precip rolls through this weekend, things are looking exciting. Models are showing 2-3 low pressures rolling in from the northwest likely bringing heavy precipitation by Monday or Tuesday night and continuing through the week. These models are a bit far out but are looking promising for now. Make sure to check out the latest forecast here at Utah Ski Weather!
