Should be fine as long as your off the lake by Saturday afternoon.
... Winter Storm Watch in effect from late Saturday night through
Monday morning above 8000 feet...
The National Weather Service in Grand Junction has issued a
Winter Storm Watch... which is in effect from late Saturday night
through Monday morning.
Rain showers will develop over the mountains of eastern Utah late
Saturday... spreading east into western Colorado Saturday evening.
The rain will slowly change over to snow Saturday night... and will
continue through the early Monday. The heaviest snows will
initially be confined to elevations above 10000 feet Saturday
night... before lowering to near 8000 feet Sunday night. Total snow
accumulations of 8 to 16 inches will be possible with this
system.
In addition... southwest winds from 20 to 35 mph with gusts to 50
mph will be common... resulting in areas of blowing and drifting
snow. The winds will gradually swing around to the west and
northwest during the day on Sunday as a cold front moves across
the region.
A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant
snow accumulations and strong winds that may impact travel. Continue to
