Posted on Sunday 25th February 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
It's a mild start here, but with the 13cm of fresh snow accumulation from yesterday the pistes are in excellent condition. There is some high, watery cloud sheltering the valley from the sunshine currently, but this will likely burn off in the next couple of hours. There is a chance of some light snow showers later in the day, with very modest accumulations predicted for overnight. The air temperature will push up to just above 0°C today, however it is predicted to drop back below overnight tonight. There is little wind forecast.
Looking forwards, the weather seems to be stabilizing somewhat as the forecast is remaining more consistent day to day. Tomorrow is predicted to be a warm, clear and windless day, much more like the spring conditions we would expect at this time of year. Snow showers mixed with sun are expected on Tuesday. The next major weather shift will occur on Wednesday, with the air temperature pushing up to 5°C in the afternoon, and remaining there overnight and into Thursday. This warm band of air will bring with it a potentially significant rainfall at 900m, however this is predicted to fall as snow on the peaks. The wind will also pick up significantly at this time, and continue to blow until at least the weekend.
