mountains and 2 to 5 inches in the Jackson Valley. Some
drifting snow is likely in the open areas of the valley.

There should then be about an 18-hour window of more settledย conditions as transitory ridging builds across the area. However,ย the break will be short-lived as the next trough moves in on itsย heels and brings the next round of snow for Saturday. Snow looks toย break out late Friday night, more than likely after midnight. Withย this next system, the heaviest snow at this point looks to fallย Saturday morning, withย another shot of steadier snow forย Saturday night.
Expect temperatures to gradually drop, and wind to gradually increase as the weekend progresses.
The best days for powder days will be Saturday and Sunday morning.ย Jackson Hole will also see up to 18″ fresh snow.
