ACTIVE AND COOLER PATTERN: Our weather pattern is turning colder and more active over the course of the next 10 days which will likely bring us several chances of snow and much colder air to the area leading up to Christmas. Expect temperatures to be above average through Tuesday but with several high mountain snow showers. As the first of several cold fronts begin to move through late Tuesday into Wednesday, we will likely begin to pick up small doses of snow for the valleys with much more substantial snow in the mountains. As we lead up to Christmas weekend we will have another arctic front drop in and bring more snow and much colder air for Christmas according to the latest model data coming in.
