328 AM PDT Fri Jun 21 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A upper level ridge over the region on Friday will
shift eastward on Saturday. An upper level trough moving into
British Columbia on Sunday will produce cloudier and cooler
conditions along with a chance of showers. Weak upper level
ridging will bring a modest warming trend and generally dry
conditions into the middle of the coming week before another
trough arrives for cooler conditions and the return of a chance of
showers.

&&

.IMPACTS...Strong winds at and above 10,000 feet Saturday and
Sunday will make it difficult to move safely and could produce
local whiteout conditions. A high level of skill and experience in
alpine terrain, including use of GPS, is recommended for
navigation and camping in these conditions.

.FRIDAY...Sunny. Freezing level near 12000 feet.
