Short Range Forecast Discussion - Updated for Sunday, March 01, 2015 Low pressure out west, which has driven the snowfall we have been seeing in the last 2 days, is dropping a bit further south than expected, and causing the southwest flow aloft to become more southerly, allowing milder air to move in and overall less favorable dynamics across the area. Mostly light to moderate snowfall is expected to fall across Aspen and northern areas Vail and eastward, as snow potential increases this afternoon through tonight (thanks to a slug of moisture pulled from offshore of California). By Monday and especially Tuesday we see northern origin low pressure pushing the low out west, toward the east, for cold air advection and a more favorable west and northwest wind flow across the mountains. Heavier snow hits Vail Pass and eastward at this time (Monday-Tuesday). On a much colder and windy Wednesday, we see low pressure exit eastward with some lingering and light snow, then sunshine. High pressure ridging sits across the area Thursday and Friday with mostly sunny skies and milder temperatures, then another low pressure system drops in with snow this coming weekend.
