Ayone have any insight into what we can expect in Ice Lakes Basin this weekend? Afternoon showers/thunder, but good in the morning?

Thanks!

For comparison's sake, the forecast looks like 50-70% t-storms likely all week in that area. Last weekend, it was basically the exact same and the t-storms, primarily around the Gores and Summit County, were definitely rolling in, but a little ways after 12pm, as predicted. I'd say definitely be off any mountains by 12 to be safe this time of the year. T-storms rolled in, like clockwork, around 2 to 3pm and in full force from then on till evening.

Thanks--where do you look for the forecast? I looked on weather.com and it says only 30% chance Fri-Sun coming up? Thanks.
