Summer Avalanche

2008-08-24T09:30:00.000-07:00

8/24/09 9:30 am

Reports from the Mont Blanc region this morning are of an avalanche on Mont Blanc du Tacul outside Grenoble, France. 10 missing and 8 hospitalized. The slide was started by an icefall at 11800'. Just a reminder that avalanches are not only reserved for winter, but they can occur at any point during the year. Icefall on snow is a perfect example of a trigger for a summertime release.

No chance of a slide in Tahoe for the foreseeable future. Although we do have weather coming as an unseasonably cold and strong low pressure system is developing in the Gulf of Alaska. We won't see any precip from this system, just wind, which has raised fire weather concerns throughout the Northern Sierra. Breezy conditions in town and windy conditions along the ridges tomorrow with the passage of the cold front which will also drop temps back to climatology.

24hr Forecast:
Sunny. Highs 78-88 with light winds increasing to SW 10-15mph in the afternoon

48hr Forecast:
Sunny. Highs 75-85. WINDY SW winds 10-25mph G45mph, 60mph on ridges

72+hr Forecast:
Sunny, Highs 71-81. Light winds

Temperatures next 24hrs:

Winds last 24hrs: (direction/ mph)
Truckee- W/SW 5-15mph

Tahoe Sierra Crest @ 8000'- 15-20mph G35mph

Snowfall last 24hrs:

Tahoe Sierra Crest @ 8000'- zilch

5-14 Day Outlook: PacNW system moves East of the region by Tuesday leaving a NE flow. Ridge rebuilds on Wednesday bringing dry, stable conditions with warming temps. Looking into Labor Day weekend, high pressure centered over 4corners region will spread upper level moisture to the Eastern Sierra, possibly as far North as Tahoe. Possible thunderstorms for the Mammoth area, for Tahoe right now, warm temps, afternoon zephyrs and the chance of thunderstorms (minimal @ this time)

Back in the swing of things

2008-08-19T10:00:00.000-07:00

Glacier National Park

8/19/08 10:00am

Sitting down at the computer getting back into the realm of Tahoe after a two plus week trip to Utopia isn't all that hard. It isn't like we are on vacation from Connecticut or something and have to go back to the daily grind. I enjoy the daily grind in Tahoe, can't get better. My awsome wife and I drove over 3100 miles to see the magnificent sights the great American West has to offer. Our trip started off in Brighton, UT where my mother-n-law just broke ground on a new house at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon, right across the street from Solitude. Next winter is going to be filled with Utah blower! From there we ventured to Jackson Hole, WY for a day of hiking in Grand Teton National Park. Next stop was Yellowstone for a few days of mother natures best. Yellowstone is incredible, with hundreds of bubbling mud pits, scorching hot pools, and geysers. When that isn't enough, then there is the wildlife which makes you feel like you are in a Jurassic Park like setting. Bears, deer, elk, moose and bison roaming free on the range, just doesn't feel like anywhere else in the US. After Jellystone, we were set for the grand finaly, Glacier National Park. I have always wanted to see Glacier, and I was not disappointed. Glacier is a place where you can see climate change in action. To stand at the base of huge mountains, carved by the ages of glaciers and see nothing. You turn to the sign which has a picture of the exact same landscape you are looking at back in 1910-1930, all you see is a snow covered landscape, and now you see hundreds of feet of rock cliffs with a huge waterfall pouring off a snow covered ledge, you know climate change is real. It is amazing what has happened to Glacier in the last 50 years. In 1910 when the park opened, there were over 150 known glaciers. The definition of glacier is a snow and ice at least 25 acres in size, at least 100 feet thick, and moving. Today, there are around 25, and of those, most are barely reaching the criteria. All glaciers in Glacier National Park are expected to melt by 2020. So that leaves 12 years. Better go now. www.nps.gov/glac I recommend you make the drive to GNP. You will enjoy.

So getting back into the swing here in Tahoe, we are blessed with a little cooler weather for the next day or so. An upper level trough has moved onshore and an associated shortwave is giving us our clouds and cooler temps today and Wednesday. Increased moisture at the mid and upper levels is not supported by lower level lift so showers are out of the question. Dry and breezy conditions for today, warmer and less breezy Wed/Thurs and by Friday the high pressure ridge builds back into the Great Basin and Eastern California from the 4corners region.

For Today- a lake wind advisory for Lake Tahoe, partly cloudy with highs 67-77, winds SW10-20 mph, G35mph, ridges to 65mph.

Wednesday- sunny, highs 72-82, light winds

Thurs/ Friday/ Weekend- sunny w/ temps upper 70's to low 80's
