Snow Recap

The storm from Monday night through Tuesday will end with 9-20 inches along the I-70 mountain corridor, with Copper Mountain leading with charge with nearly 2 FEET in 24 hours.

Wednesday - Saturday

We'll now catch a short break from any precip on Wednesday, though gusty winds and increasing cloud coverage will stream overhead by early Wednesday afternoon.

Unsettled weather will then flow into Colorado from Thursday through Saturday. Expect high-elevation snow showers at times on Thursday and into Friday, followed by a decent shot for heavier snowfall on Friday night and into Saturday.

The rain/snow line will hover around 9-10,000 feet so expect a rain/snow mix near the base areas and a denser snow quality on the skiable terrain. A-Basin, Loveland, and Winter Park could have a nice little powder day on Saturday as a sneaky 2-4+ inches falls along the divide.

The storm should then begin to clear out on Saturday night and provide us with dry conditions on Sunday.

Travel Conditions

Mostly clear road surfaces and normal travel speeds will be encountered on Wednesday. Wet road surfaces could form on Thursday and into Friday but this should not have an impact on travel speeds.

We'll then be tracking a quick transition to slushy, icy, snow-packed road surfaces from Friday evening through Saturday morning. This will likely cause some delays over the higher passes, especially near the Eisenhower Tunnel, so give yourself extra travel time through early Saturday morning.

Mostly dry road surfaces should quickly return by midday Saturday thanks to the high mid-April sun angle. Normal travel speeds and dry road surfaces will then take full control from Sunday through next week.

Sunday - Next Week

Partly sunny skies and mild temps will be the story on Sunday and this will likely remain the case through much of next week. Expect temps to climb well into the 40s each day and mostly light winds.

Looking further ahead, there are now hints of another chance for snow around the weekend of April 27/28 and this will likely be another high-elevation snow event.

I know many of you are ready for full-on spring but these moisture-rich storms are great for adding to our water supply and tampering down the wildfire risk as we quickly transition into summer.
