DAY generally covers the time period between 6:00 AM & 6:00 PM. NITE is between 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM the following morning.
Snow Precipitation Graph Description
This graph shows the average expected snowfall amounts for the next 5 days in inches, broken down by DAY & NITE to give an idea of when the snow will be falling. Gray bars are for valley snowfall, Blue bars are for mountain snowfall at around the 9,000-ft. elevation in the Tetons. Number plotted is for a quicker read on mountain snow amounts.
