Weather Forecast
Up to 10cm at upper elevations tapering near noon then clearing. The day will stay fairly cool with valley bottoms in the 2 to 5C range and 3000m temperatures -5 to -10C. Some solar input for the afternoon but will be localized depending on cloud cover. Winds will be west and gusting moderate to strong at 3000m diminishing in the afternoon.
