DISCUSSION

Issued at 300 AM MST Sat Feb 21 2026

High pressure should produce dry weather through the weekend. Temperatures will return to near normal today and then climb to about 10 degrees above normal by Monday. Models still show a moist system arriving for Tuesday and Wednesday. This will be a warm system with the better snow levels above 6000 feet. Still looking at several inches of snow at these levels, potentially approaching a foot on some ridges. Debatable at this point if this system will earn highlights. It may too warm to impact many of the passes. After this system passes we stay in northwest flow but with a ridge building in. So precipitation chances look low and temperatures will likely continue to run 5 to 10 degrees above normal.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/

Issued at 300 AM MST Sat Feb 21 2026

Expect vfr conditions at most taf sites today. Some lower clouds has made their way into DIJ this morning. Briefly emerged as an MVFR deck but then lifted into a low VFR deck. So that will certainly need monitoring this morning. Those low clouds will probably break up around midday. Winds should remain mainly light today with SUN likely switching to an upvalley wind this afternoon.
