Spring storm

Another system hitting the coast this morning. Snow made it to the valley, but expect that to end sometime this early this morning. A pacific warm front will pass just to the south of our area freezing levels will spike this afternoon, and cool again overnight. We picked up another 7cm overnight at Pig alley, and the temperature has bumped up above 0 in the last hour. Winds up top are gusting 60km/ph out of the West.
Alpine
Wednesday: 25-30mm precipitation with strong westerly winds. Freezing level 1600m. Maybe bumping up to 1800m hopefully not!

Friday: Clearing out a bit, we'll see still a few days out.
