Tuesday started cold with Thayne Elementary dipping to zero, for possibly the last time this season. By Wednesday and continuing into the weekend, afternoons will warm into the 50s, making serious enrodes on the remaining v alley snow pack. By Friday a mild southwesterly flow will be established across the Mountain West with a deep low pressure trough off the west coast.

The longer range temperature forecast from the Climate Prediction center well into next week indicates that the abnormally warm conditions that have prevailed across much of the United States will persist.
With the snow pack in the nearby mountains now about average or a little above, some serious runoff could commence down the rivers in the next couple of weeks given this pattern.
