Mount Charleston is expecting its first significant snow tomorrow. The storm system will bring cool temperatures, rain and an 80% chance to drop a couple inches of snow. Winds around 20mph with gusts as high as 30mph are predicted for the mountain.

Warmer temperatures for the rest of the week mean that the snow will not stay for long.
