Bogus Basin Discussion

WEATHER DISCUSSION - Friday January 17, 2024 -

Temperatures have remained cold and "snow-preserving" for Bogus Basin, so there remains a great base after some amazing snowfall thus far. Mostly sunny/ partly cloudy skies are expected through this weekend, with much colder temperatures as we are in a dry and unsettled pattern, low pressure east and high pressure west, some breeziness and wind chill at times the result, otherwise plenty of sun is expected. Some snow flurries are expected next Tuesday-Wednesday with a weak and mostly moisture-starved system brushing the area on its way southeast.

LONGER RANGE.

High pressure ridging (and tranquil snow-free weather) is mostly dominant through January 24 with mostly no snow and more sun (near to above average temperatures are expected mid-late next week. By around January 24-25, next weekend (Saturday snow) the jet stream starts cutting south into the west coast and delivering frequent snows to Bogus Basin and southern/ northern Idaho. There should be frequent significant snowfalls into early February. Meteorologist/ Chris Manly

WEATHER DISCUSSION - Monday January 13, 2024 -

Mostly sunny skies and chilly temperatures are expected today under building high pressure ridging aloft. Valley temperature inversions are expected (colder below, warmer above) under a mostly dominant high-pressure ridge over the Northwest US pretty much all week, except for late Thursday when a shot of flurries/ very light snow is expected into Friday morning, no accumulation or 1 inch is expected at this point. The good news is that temperatures remain cold and "snow-preserving", while there remains a great base after some amazing early-season snowfall in November and December. The SnoTel site shows just under 5 feet of depth and good water equivalent (16.4") as of this morning. The weekend remains chilly/ cold with a dry northwest flow on the east side of the big high-pressure ridge. Mostly sunny-partly cloudy skies are also expected through the weekend.

LONGER RANGE.

High pressure ridging looks to be mostly dominant through January 23 with mostly no snow and more sun (near average temperatures are expected as colder shots of air move in at times. After January 23 the jet stream starts cutting south into the west coast and delivering frequent snows to Bogu Basin and southern/ northern Idaho. Meteorologist/ Chris Manly

WEATHER DISCUSSION - Thursday January 9, 2024 -

Today things are looking mostly sunny and chilly with northwest breezes, more sun but increasing clouds on a less-cold Friday, then then some snow moves in Friday afternoon through overnight, a quick shot of moderate snowfall and a STRONG cold front as temperatures drop fast Friday night (near 32F then dropping to single digits at 10,000 feet), then Saturday looks Much colder than Friday, with some 10-20mph northwest breezes for wind chill. Sunday looks cold and mostly cloudy (partly sunny) with some flurries at times, clearing out Monday morning then becoming sunny/ cold Monday under building high pressure ridging aloft. Next Tuesday and Wednesday (14-15 Jan) look sunny and not as cold, with valley temperature inversions (colder below, warmer above) under a strong high-pressure ridge.

LONGER RANGE.

High pressure ridging fights to be dominant through January 21, with low pressure systems moving through carrying refreshing shots of cold air and maybe snow to freshen up the slopes here and there. After January 21 the pattern may start cutting south into the west coast and delivering frequent snows to Bogu Basin and southern/ northern Idaho. Meteorologist/ Chris Manly
