::: ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS TODAY/ MOSTLY SUNNY SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/ CHANCE FOR SNOW TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY :::
DETAILED SUMMARY FOR THE WEEK -//> UPDATED FOR FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3rd...Today --ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS-- -> The low pressure system lingers across the plains east of Colorado, with unsettled conditions overhead today, and enough moisture on northeast breezes to cause isolated snow showers.
Saturday through Monday --MOSTLY SUNNY-- -> A pretty sharp ridge of high pressure builds in across the western US and southwest Canada, for mostly sunny skies and chilly but warming temperatures, and a lot less wind by Sunday and Monday.
Tuesday and Wednesday --NEXT CHANCE FOR SNOW-- -> A Pacific low pressure system moves in with another chance for snow across the area. This system looks like it could drop mostly light snow totals across most of the resort areas. CM

Long range forecast / discussion...February 09 to 12
--A storm moves in off the Pacific by the 7th/ 8th, with mostly light snowfall possible as it moves in out of the southwest/ west. It looks like high pressure ridging across the west may hold until mid February. Despite this ridge, some rogue storms and snowfall are still possible for Utah from mainly the 10th-15th. We are watching for potentially more significant snow as we move into the 2nd half of February.
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
