Important Note

I'll be offline on a hut trip from Friday, March 31 through Sunday, April 2 so please check our automated forecast and snow report data for Breckenridge, along with the Colorado Daily Snow, for the latest updates.

Thursday - Friday

It's all systems go for the storm that is set to arrive on Thursday afternoon.

Expect dry weather under partly sunny skies on Thursday morning, followed by gusty winds and mostly cloudy skies as we head into Thursday afternoon. Snow will then begin to fall over Breckenridge around 3-5 pm.

A sharp cold front will kick off the initial round of heavy snow through Thursday night, followed by favorable orographics through Friday. This is a classic 24-hour storm for Colorado.

In total, I like 1-3 inches for Friday's report, followed by another 2-4 inches from Friday morning through Friday evening thanks to west-northwest winds on Friday. First chair Friday should be good but keep an eye on Friday afternoon and first chair Saturday for sneaky good and fluffy turns.

Saturday - Sunday

The storm will clear out by late Friday night and we'll wake up to mostly clear skies on Saturday morning. Temps will start in the low teens and rise into the upper 20 to low 30s. We'll then receive more sunny skies on Sunday, with temps rising well into the 30s.

Monday & Beyond

Looking ahead to the week of April 3, we should stay mostly dry on Monday ahead of a cold storm that will arrive on Monday night and bring heavy snow through Tuesday. We'll go with an early forecast of 2-6 inches from Monday night through Tuesday, followed by lingering snow showers into Wednesday, April 5 and temps only in the single digits to low teens.

Following the storm early in the week, the models are starting to introduce a drying trend for later in the week and into the weekend of April 8/9. This period of dry weather and warmer temps could then continue as we head into the week of April 10.

Thanks for reading! Next update on Monday (April 3).
