On Sunday, we saw a few snowflakes thanks to weak energy and moisture that moved over Colorado’s northern mountains.

For the next three days, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, expect dry weather, partly-to-mostly sunny skies, and warmer temperatures with afternoon highs in the mid-to-upper 30s.

The next storm should bring snow on Wednesday night and Thursday (January 31 - February 1). Copper will likely be right on the edge between lighter snow accumulations (a dusting to a few inches) and more significant accumulations to the north and east. On Thursday, you could find anything from a day with a fresh inch or two, all the way to a significant powder day. Stay tuned.

After that, from Friday, February 2, through Friday, February 9, the storm track will set up over or just to the north of Copper. This means that we’ll likely see times of dry weather when the storm track retreats to the north, times of light snow as the storm track sags south, and perhaps even a day of more intense snow if a stronger system moves directly over Colorado. February 2-9 has some potential for powder, but the trend in the models has been to keep the storms just a bit further north, so I want to manage our expectations for fresh snow.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for an update each morning!
