Progress up until now:
Nothing has really changed in the Forecast for Mammoth since earlier in the week. However, the west side of the crest has not received much rain as earlier predicted thus far. We are still looking at an event that will bring between 30 and 50 inches of snowfall over the crest between today and Sunday Night. At the Village at Mammoth some 24 to 30 inches possible beginning late tonight through Sunday Night. Most of the Snowfall will occur between midnight Friday night and Midnight Saturday night….with much lower snowfall rates per hour Sunday. All in All, it appears that we will not loose anything in the amounts which were earlier predicted…it is just coming all at once. So keep your snorkels handy Sunday into early next week as more of the mountain opens as the winds diminish….
Improving weather will occur Monday with a northwest upper flow. This could allow snow showers and windy weather into early Tuesday. Fair weather expected Tuesday into Wednesday with short wave ridging….
