727 AM MST WED JAN 29 2025  
 
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER  
SERVICE.  
   
DISCUSSION  
 
QUIET WEATHER WILL PREVAIL TODAY, WITH DRY CONDITIONS, MOSTLY SUNNY  
SKIES, AND LIGHT TERRAIN-DRIVEN WINDS (I.E. BECOMING UP-VALLEY AND  
UPSLOPE NEAR MIDDAY).  
 
A STORM SYSTEM TO THE SOUTHEAST WILL BRING GREATER CLOUD COVER  
OVERNIGHT AND INTO THURSDAY, WITH BREEZIER NORTHWEST WINDS  
DEVELOPING THURSDAY. THERE IS LIKELY TO BE NOTICEABLE SHELTERING  
IN THE DRAINAGE ALONG DUNRAVEN GLADE RD, SO PEAK GUSTS IN THE  
VALLEY BOTTOM ARE NOT FORECAST TO EXCEED 20 MPH. HOWEVER, IF THE  
PROJECT EXTENDS UP THE SLOPES EITHER SIDE OF DUNRAVEN GLADE RD,  
EXPECT SOME ENHANCEMENT OF WINDS WITH ELEVATION, PARTICULARLY  
ON NORTH-FACING ASPECTS MORE EXPOSED TO NORTHERLY FLOW. RIDGETOP  
GUSTS CLOSER TO 25-30 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE.  
 
THERE IS A VERY LOW CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION (15%) THURSDAY MORNING,  
WITH LITTLE/NO SNOW ACCUMULATION EXPECTED. GIVEN THE STRONGER WINDS,  
SEVERAL HOURS OF GOOD SMOKE DISPERSAL ARE ANTICIPATED FROM LATE  
MORNING THROUGH MID AFTERNOON.
