755 FXUS61 KPBZ 240521 AFDPBZ Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 121 AM EDT Thu Sep 24 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Rain showers have lingered slightly longer than prior expectation, but will continue to erode overnight. Main update was to PoPs in the near term to reflect location of showers. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Lingering overnight showers across eastern Ohio and northern West Virginia 2) Below-normal temperature lingers thru Friday and moderates by the weekend 3) Trends continue away from local precipitation influenced by coastal low pressure && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1... Lingering showers within a deformation zone to the northwest of a slow-moving closed low will slowly wane overnight. Easterly downsloping flow will support low-level drying and erosion of rain toward early Thu morning as sfc high pressure builds. KEY MESSAGE 2... Amid strengthening sfc high pressure, below-normal temperature will be likely thru the weekend. Thu night in particular will feature the coldest temperature with values broadly approaching the low-mid 40s, and potentially into the 30s in Canaan Valley, where frost may develop locally in typical cold spots. As high pressure advances eastward, and flow aloft transitions toward westerly/southwesterly, temperature trends seem likely to return toward normal (maxima in the low 70s and minima in the low 50s). KEY MESSAGE 3... Ensemble trends away from weekend precipitation associated with strengthening coastal low pressure have continued. The next potential for rain appears to be in the Tue-Wed timeframe, when a trough amplifies across the Upper OH Valley. At this time, buoyancy appears meager, so potential for hazardous weather appears low despite a stronger wind field. && .AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... High pressure building southward will maintain ely/nely wind with high confidence thru much of the TAF period, as attendant dry air helps erode ongoing showers across nrn WV/ern OH and eventually cloud cover entirely. At this time, MVFR cigs are confined to ern OH, and will have a potential impact at ZZV only in the short-term period before erosion late tonight, with VFR conditions expected area-wide thru Fri morning. Outlook... A prolonged period of VFR is expected thru the weekend. Fri and Sat morning produce the best chance for local restrictions due to steam fog migrating off of the rivers amid light flow and cool temperature. && .PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None. OH...None. WV...None. && $$ DISCUSSION...Kramar AVIATION...Kramar

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 Hidden Valley Resort

Where does the snow data for Hidden Valley 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 Hidden Valley 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 Hidden Valley 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.
