Good Morning,

After a stormy start to the month, the weather is calming down with sunny, mild days ahead, featuring highs in the 60s at lower elevations and 50s at higher ones, though a brief cooldown is expected over the weekend of April 12th-13th before temperatures rebound. The forecast remains mostly dry through April 24th, with only weak systems possibly bringing light showers mid-month, while high pressure dominates the West. Ski areas are winding down, with most closing by April 20th or 27th, and updates will be sporadic unless a storm emerges, though posts will continue through April with a final wrap-up before a summer break.

With all that being said, bring on spring!

Thinking of heading up here for the weekend? We cannot stress enough the need to plan ahead and check in with both CalTrans Road Conditions as well as CHP Truckee.

PLEASE MAKE EYE CONTACT with any operator before approaching or coming near the machine.

Please make sure you plan your travels accordingly and leave yourself enough time to get there slowly!

Flatlined…

Summary

Mostly sunny skies each day through at least the 15th. Maybe a few weaker systems beyond mid-month could bring a few showers. But overall, a drier and milder pattern is expected for now.

Updated Forecast

The air really came out of the balloon after the beginning of the month’s storms. Any signs of troughs and weak systems are dissipating as we get closer, and the forecast is very dry for the time being.

We have sunny and mild days this week with highs into the 60s for the lower elevations and 50s for the higher elevations. We will cool down a little for the weekend of the 12th – 13th, with high temperatures dropping around 10 degrees. But then rebounding next week with highs back close to 60 degrees at lake level.

Some models show a few weak systems possibly brushing us beyond mid-month, the most aggressive being the European AI model today. But at best right now it looks like just a few showers from each. Overall, through the 24th, the ensemble mean models show mostly high pressure over the West…

There won’t be much to post about unless a storm shows up in the forecast. For now, I may only post sporadically until that happens. But I’ll be watching daily. Most ski areas will be closing on the 20th, with a few on the 27th, and only 2 remaining open into May.

I’ll continue to post through the end of April, with a year-end wrap-up post before saying goodbye for the summer. So don’t worry, this isn’t goodbye yet…

Stay tuned…BA
