Posted on Monday 29th January 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Naeba! "Storm Finn" has most certainly moved on from Mikuni valley, however the next bout of snow has already arrived! After a sunny afternoon yesterday, the clouds rolled in again overnight, starting off with just 1cm of snow before 8am. It's still snowing lightly but consistently, so we should expect some additional new snow accumulation today. The air temperature is predicted to be a little below 0°C, and with the light winds expected to drop off this afternoon there will be little effect of the wind on what the temperature feels like.
Looking forwards, tomorrow is looking to be a chilly start, with daytime air temperatures expecting to max out at about -5°C. Light snow will continue to fall until Wednesday morning, when the skies will clear and gift us another sunny day to break up the winter storms. Later in the week, we should expect a mix of snow and cloud, however there are no significant snow accumulations predicted as it stands. In addition to this, there is nothing of note regarding the wind until at least Saturday. Air temperatures are expected to remain closer to 0°C than recently, which will feel warm compared to what we have experienced this last week.
