FOR THOSE GOING INTO THE WHITNEY BACKCOUNTRY TODAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. 60% CHANCE OF UPPER ELEVATION SNOW SHOWERS. THIS WOULD BE AT OR ABOVE 9,000 FEET. EXPECTED SNOW AMOUNTS 3 - 8 INCHES BY SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. THUNDER SNOW A REAL POSSIBILITY. GUSTY, ERRATIC WINDS POSSIBLE WITH COOL OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES. WHITNEY PORTAL CAN EXPECT A DUSTING AT ANY TIME TODAY AND SATURDAY.

I WILL TRY TO UPDATE AS NECESSARY.
