::: CHILLY WITH SOME CLOUDS BUT MOSTLY SUN TODAY/ PARTLY CLOUDY AND COOL TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY (EXCEPT ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS ON WEDNESDAY)/ CHANCE FOR SNOW LATE WEEK AND WEEKEND :::
DETAILED SUMMARY FOR THE WEEK -//> UPDATED FOR MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6th...Today --SOME CLOUDS BUT MOSTLY SUN-- -> Clouds decrease today as the latest low pressure system starts to move east, with any snow showers done. Chilly breezes filter in behind this low, but not much wind is expected.
Tuesday through Thursday --CLEARING OUT, SLOW WARMING-- -> The lingering low pressure scoots eastward onto the plains Tuesday, with clearing skies early Tuesday and partly cloudy through the period. This is as high pressure ridging aloft builds in from the west. Breezes increase out of the west and northwest due to this transition, otherwise we see plenty of sunshine. There is a possibility for snow on Wednesday as moisture moves up from the south, but we do not expect any accumulation. Temperatures remain cold enough to help preserve snow. CM

Long range forecast / discussion...February 12 to 15
--It looks like high pressure ridging across the west holds for the most part through mid-February. Despite this ridge, a low pressure system and snowfall is possible for Utah next 12th-13th (Sunday and Monday). This storm should produce mostly light to moderate snowfall across the Wasatch and southern Utah. We are watching for potentially more significant snow (better than "light") as we move into the 2nd half of February, with some of the computer model ensembles backing this up.
We have a moderate La Nina SST pattern in place through the winter, starting to weaken now, and expected to weaken into summer 2012. We expect increased storminess across the west in mid February as the pattern changes back to unsettled. CM
