Snow showers, snow, snow, likely snow, chance of snow, snow. That’s basically the National Weather Service forecast for each day from Saturday to the first mention of sun on Thanksgiving. Suddenly Deer Valley’s early opening on what promises to be White Friday in the mountains makes sense.OpenSnow forecaster Evan Thayer is a little more circumspect. Yes, he sees snow in his crystal ball full of isobaric lines and models sending storms this way and that, alas mostly north of us.His Thursday forecast is headlined “High confidence in snow, low confidence in exact amounts.”Meanwhile Lake Tahoe is getting pummeled. As columnist Tom Clyde likes to say, so there is that.The action, if it comes, starts with showers on Saturday and then we’ll see how low toward northern Utah the atmospheric river dips Saturday night and onward. Park City Mountain is holding its outlook to a couple of inches here, a couple of inches there through the weekend and into the week after opening day Friday.The Weather Service shows 40% chances to likely to something approximating certainty of snow from Saturday to Wednesday, then a chance of snow and the first “mostly sunny” forecast on Thanksgiving day. Temperatures in this period will run as high as 41 Saturday before dropping into the 20s.The Utah Avalanche Center cautions that avalanches at higher elevations are possible and strong southwest winds are due later Friday, a precursor to a stormy weekend and beyond. The Weather Service pegs gusts up to 45 mph.As Thayer cautions, though, no one seems to know how much snow will fall here. This is not unlike the 50-50 forecasts for the upcoming ski season, with La Nina patterns showing snow could funnel north or south of the shrug of the shoulder outlook for this region.Thanksgiving snow, though. That’s not a bad beginning, right?The post Snow in the forecast every day over weekend and next week appeared first on Park Record.
