Now on to the forecast:

Tomorrow afternoon yet another front will bring more rain, however totals should only be near half an inch as shown in the image below of the 00z run of the NAM model

This front will bring snow levels down to about 2,500 and snow to the passes.

After the showers behind the front end Friday afternoon things will begin to dry out. However a weak warm front will pass just to the north of us. The good thing is rain is looking likely to stay just north of the metro area as shown in the image below of the 00z model showing the rain boundary right over the metro area.

After yet another front comes through on Sunday models are showing the jet stream lifting north and giving us a possible dry stretch starting Monday.

The image below shows a model forecast of the jet stream on Tuesday

 The jet stream lifts north due to a high pressure building over us and causing the jet steam to go around.

For skier/snowboarders:
