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. Snowforecast.com Meteorologist/ Chris Manly (I have been actively forecasting weather and snow for ski resorts since 1998)
