4-4-2024 @  11 AM – Good morning; a deep cold low-pressure system has moved into the area at this time. The main frontal band with this low will be over Mammoth Mountain later this afternoon into the evening hours.

Snowfall Forecast amounts are now in the 1-2 foot range from Main Lodge to the top. Snowfall ratios will be in the 10-1 range today and then up to 12-1 tonight.

The stronger winds will somewhat limit the snowfall potential, so it’s going to be hard to reach the 2 feet of new snow we see in some of the forecasts right now.

Snow showers look to be in the area well into Friday and then pt cloudy to sunny skies are expected over the weekend with continued cooler air that will keep the snow in mid-winter form over most of the Mountain. SW Winds will continue to be in the strong to moderate range well into Saturday.

Next week, a weak ridge will move into the west, and that will bring on Spring temperatures and the corn snow season. No signs of any powder chances after this system, but the outlook could change quickly as we are in the spring season now. All forecasts beyond day 7 are a bit suspect now, for sure.
