Copper Mountain Daily Snow

By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 5 years ago December 16, 2019
Update
Sunday was dry with mostly cloudy skies and fun, soft powder across the mountain. Our snowpack is now 142% of average thanks to this recent storm cycle!
Now on Monday morning, we are very cold with temperatures across the mountain ranging from -5°F to +5°F. Temperatures should stay in this range for most of the day and we’ll likely see some clouds covering the sky for much of the day as well.
Tuesday will sunny and temperatures will rise to around 10°-15°F.
Wednesday will also offer some sunshine with high temperatures around 20°-25°F
Thursday will be cooler with highs in the 15°-20°F range though despite the drop in temperatures we should stay dry with mostly sunny skies.
Temperatures will finally rise on Friday with highs in the 20s, and then Saturday, Sunday, and Monday will be warmer still with highs in the 30s.
Our next chance for snow will start around Tuesday, December 24th and a chance for snow will continue through the rest of December. All weather forecast models show storminess pushing from the west coast eastward into the Rockies during the final seven days of December, but we will need to wait at least a few more days before we can begin to trust the details of the timing and location of the deepest snow.
Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
