Notch Report

Weather: Get outside while you can! Monday and Tuesday we will have mostly sunny skies with cool temps. Around mid-morning Wednesday rain showers will roll back into the area and will still around throughout the day Thursday. 

Hiking: Extremely challenging. Temperatures on the high summits will remain below freezing throughout the week. Expect mixed precipitation and dangerously high winds. Trails are muddy and slippery at lower elevations and icy and snowy at higher elevations. Be prepared for winter hiking conditions above 4,000 feet. Use caution when crossing rivers! Increased precipitation with snow melt will make for high water with fast moving and dangerous currents.
