Good morning!
If you’re in the Gorge, you have the distinct pleasure of looking out your window this morning and seeing the Nothing, the gray gloom of clouds that develops from an inversion layer. I think I mentioned a while back that Jimmy from 3 Rivers starts 241 steak night after the first inversion, and someone mentioned to me the other day that steak night is up and running for the year. That gives you something to do tomorrow evening. Steak night date night, right?
In the mountains for the next three days, we won’t see much in the way of snow. Today looks dry, with partly cloudy conditions and wind at W 5-10 picking up to SW 15-20 late afternoon. The snow level will be 2000’ early, rising to 5500’ in the afternoon. We’ll see a bit of snow mixed with rain or wet snow above 5000’ tonight, for maybe an inch of accumulation.

On Thursday, we’ll see sunny skies in the mountains with the free air freezing level around 9000’ and wind at SW 5-10. Next chance for significant snow accumulation is Saturday. Chance of Meadows/Skibowl opening in the next 10 days: Less than 10%.
