2025-2026 Fall/Winter Mountain Thread

[WxKnurd]

About to head back to Montana and we finally had our first snow in Billings, overperformer and ended up with 8” or so when they were calling for 4-5”. Been nice to have some cold these past few days here in the foothills at my parents, prepping me for heading back to the first cold snap of the year out there!

Low DP's will do that. Evaporative cooling . The Model's tend to miss it many times.

Can I order a repeat of this pattern in January? Drop 3-4º off the column and we'd have ourselves a couple nice storms on the way. 

Liking what the GFS is showing for late next week. Hoping the backside of the Tue system produces up high so I can get out and snow hike on Wednesday.

Down to 31 now. That line in Eastern TN if holds together could bring us some light snow.

[Met1985]

Temp just dropped to 30.

GSP mentioned Winter Weather Advisory coming either later this afternoon or tomorrow morning for all of the Mountain areas including the SW Mountains for tomorrow night. Looks like snow changing to freezing rain event. They are also mentioning the next event would be Thursday night into Friday with snow likely for all areas including Asheville/Hendersonville before changing to sleet/freezing rain.

The upcoming medium range continues to advertise a fast progressive pattern with moisture every day or two into next week.
