New snow totals from Monday night’s “storm” ranged from 3-4 inches in the Tetons while the valley only saw a dusting. The remainder of the week will feature light snow chances along with a trend toward colder temperatures.
Tuesday
Partly to mostly cloudy skies will prevail on Tuesday as we’ll be in between storm systems, but scattered flurries can be expected from time to time. Highs will reach the upper 30s in the valley.
Wednesday – Thursday
Wednesday will start out milder with highs near 40 in the valley under mostly cloudy skies. Gusty southwest winds will also develop ahead of the next approaching storm.
Snow will arrive late Wednesday afternoon and will pick up during the evening as a cold front approaches. Snow totals through Wednesday night will range from 2-5 inches in the Tetons and a dusting to 2 inches in the valley.
Much colder air will settle into the area on Thursday with highs only peaking near 30 in the valley. An unsettled west/northwest flow will result in additional cloud cover and snow showers favoring the mid to high elevations of the Tetons where another 1-3 inches of snow can be expected.
Friday – Saturday
Friday will be the coldest day of the week with highs only in the low 20s in the valley under mostly cloudy skies. Additional flurries will be possible on Friday and into Saturday morning, but accumulations will be minimal.
We will start to dry out on Saturday afternoon with highs in the upper 20s in the valley.
Extended Outlook
A warming trend will occur on Sunday and Monday as a milder southerly flow takes hold. We may see a glancing blow from a storm system passing to our west and north on Sunday night/Monday, but only a slight chance of snow is expected at this time.
A better chance of snow can be expected around next Tuesday or Wednesday (Dec 14-15).
