Snow at the higher elevation 2. Normal adiabatic lapse rate is 2 degrees C per thousand feet which would cool the 9500 foot air by 3 degrees C compared to 8000 foot air 3. Clouds or fog at lower elevations that leave higher elevation subject to radiation cooling at night. Several possible scenarios would cause colder temperature at 9500 feet elevation vs 8000 feet.
