Copper Mountain Daily Snow

Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest Copper Mountain Daily Snow

By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 5 years ago December 17, 2019

Update

Monday offered soft snow, mostly cloudy skies, and cold temperatures which struggled to get to +10°F.

Tuesday will feel warmer with sunny skies and temperatures around 10°-15°F.

Wednesday will offer a mix of clouds and sun with high temperatures around 25°-30°F

Thursday will be cooler with highs in the 20°-25°F range. Despite the drop in temperatures, we should stay dry with mostly sunny skies.

Temperatures will finally rise on Friday with highs in the upper 20s, and then Saturday, Sunday, and Monday will be warmer still with highs in the 30s.

After looking at the latest models, I remain confident that our next chance for snow will start around Tuesday, December 24th and chances for snow will continue through the rest of December.

During the final seven days of December, storms should push from the west coast eastward into the Rockies, and we will need to wait until later this week before we can begin to trust the details of the timing and location of the deepest snow over the holiday period.

Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
