Rating: 3/10 - downgraded for rain/showers at times; cool; cloudy; breezy at times - I would upgrade to 5/10 if we have a thunderstorm.

Forecast: cool upper level trough bringing unsettled weather with rain/showers at times; cool temps; chance of thunderstorms this afternoon/evening; breezy southerly winds at times

Some mountain snow possible with snow levels to 3500’ or so. I would upgrade the rating to a 7/10 if the ski area gets accumulating ❄️!!
