389 FXUS61 KILN 020525 AFDILN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington OH 1225 AM EST Mon Nov 2 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... No significant changes. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) A weak mid level disturbance moving through the Ohio Valley will lead to occasional light shower activity today. More widespread rain is expected on Wednesday as a stronger upper level disturbance moves through the region. 2) An upper level trough will settle into the Great Lakes region late this week and over the weekend. This will lead to more seasonable temperatures and occasional chances for showers. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1) The mid level short wave will continue to push east across the upper Ohio Valley through early afternoon. Fairly widespread light precipitation associated with this will continue through much of the morning before beginning to taper off this afternoon as the short wave moves off to the east. Highs today will be in the low to mid 60s. An upper level trough axis will move out of the Plains on Tuesday and into the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley region through the day on Wednesday. Increasing southerly flow ahead of this will lead to decent moisture advection up into our region beginning late Tuesday night and continuing into Wednesday, with fairly widespread shower activity overspreading the Ohio Valley region. With any instability limited at best, expect the thunder threat to be on the low side with the precipitation on Wednesday. Precipitation will then taper off from the west heading into Wednesday night as the trough axis shifts eastward. Key message 2) A series of mid level short waves will rotate down across the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley region as we head into the weekend. Timing/placement and strength of these vary though between the models so there is some uncertainty in pcpn chances and timing through the second half of the long term period and will generally just have some lower end pops going. Some cooler air will filter down into the area though, so we will see a return to more seasonable temperatures for the weekend. && .AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Light shower activity will continue at times through this morning as a mid level short wave pushes east across the upper Ohio Valley. As the low levels continue to moisten up, cigs will drop into MVFR category later this morning. This may be accompanied by some occasional MVFR vsbys. As the short wave moves off to the east, cigs will lift back into VFR through this afternoon, with VFR conditions then expected through the remainder of the TAF period. OUTLOOK...MVFR to IFR cigs and vsbys possible at times Wednesday into Thursday. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...None. KY...None. IN...None. && $$ DISCUSSION...JGL AVIATION...JGL

Mountain & avalanche safety

Know before you go
Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any off-piste / side-country / backcountry travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
Carry the gear, know how to use it
Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
Mind the weather window
Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry, even if the resort itself is open.
Respect closed terrain
Ropes are there for a reason. Even in-bounds, ducking a closure can trigger a slide that catches you and others below.

FAQ

About Cloudmont Ski Resort

Where does the snow data for Cloudmont Ski Resort come from?

Snowpack, SWE, 24-hour snowfall, and air temperature come from the nearest USDA NRCS SNOTEL station. Forecast comes from the National Weather Service / yr.no feed that Snoflo's iOS app uses.

How often is the snow report updated?

Snowpack and SNOTEL data are updated continuously by NRCS (typically hourly). The 15-day weather forecast is refreshed throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- look for the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero.

What's the elevation at Cloudmont Ski Resort?

See the Resort Metrics panel above for base / summit / vertical drop. The summit elevation drives snowpack accumulation -- higher summits hold snow longer through spring.

How is "% of normal" calculated?

Today's snowpack is compared to the average snowpack on this calendar day across every recorded year at the nearest SNOTEL. 100% means right on average; 130% is a big year; 60% is thin.

What ski resorts are near Cloudmont Ski Resort?

See the Other Ski Areas pill grid at the bottom of the page for resorts within driving distance. The sister Other Ski Areas card in the Plan-a-longer-trip grid above shows the closest few.

Can I get alerts when fresh snow hits?

Yes -- snow alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this resort, set a snowfall threshold (e.g. "alert me when 6+ inches"), and you'll get a push the moment the SNOTEL crosses.
