More of the same...

TLDR:

Continued high pressure will be the story of the next week leading into the holiday. Our next chance for snowfall looks to be right after the holidays, right now the GFS is suggesting a trough will at least be hitting the Pacific Northwest. Enjoy the sunny weather and hopefully get your head out of the smog as much as possible. 

Nowcast:

Current conditions are sunny with a temperature inversion. Base temps are hovering right around 26 degrees with summit temps at 36. Mount Superior looks beautiful this morning.

Short-term:

Over the next few days expect occasional light cirrus clouds followed by increasingly more clear days. Temperatures on the mountain should be hovering around freezing throughout the day and dip below freezing at night. 

Long-term:

Really more of the same here, unfortunately. Our next real chance of snow is right after the holidays. This is quite far out for the models, and the Euro model isn't quite agreeing with the GFS so I'll just leave it as our next chance for some serious action is after the holidays.

Lastly, if you're planning on going to hunt for some powder in the backcountry, as always, have the proper gear, a competent partner, and consult our friends over at the UAC before you go.
