How to read pressure & storm activity
Compare falling pressure with snowfall or precipitation to spot possible storm patterns. A pressure drop alone does not guarantee a storm. Each day pairs a light blue snowfall bar with a purple liquid precipitation bar (rain and melted snow). Both use the inches axis; snowfall depth and liquid precipitation are different measurements and are not added together. Snowfall and precipitation are separate source fields; snow can be reported even when precipitation is zero. Each metric uses its own labeled axis. Missing pressure readings leave gaps; — marks an unavailable bar value.

How to read dew point depression
Dew point depression (DPD) = temperature − dew point. A shrinking gap means air is closer to saturation; it can reflect added moisture, cooling, or both.
These are daily values, not hourly observations. A small gap alone does not predict snow or prove the whole atmosphere is moist. Compare with pressure, precipitation, and the snowfall forecast. Missing or inconsistent DPD readings are left blank.
| Temperature | Dew point | DPD | What it suggests |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30°F | 5°F | 25°F | Very dry air |
| 30°F | 15°F | 15°F | Fairly dry |
| 30°F | 22°F | 8°F | Closer to saturation |
| 30°F | 27°F | 3°F | Near saturation |
| 30°F | 29°F | 1°F | Very humid; fog or clouds possible |
| 30°F | 30°F | 0°F | Saturated |
Illustrative approaching-storm sequence: 25°F / dew point 5°F → DPD 20°F; 24°F / 15°F → 9°F; 23°F / 20°F → 3°F; 22°F / 21°F → 1°F. Rising dew point alongside cooling temperature shows air becoming much closer to saturation. This example is not the resort’s live forecast.
