Copper Mountain Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 4 years ago January 14, 2020
Update
On Monday, we saw light snow through the day with 2 inches of accumulation.
Tuesday and Wednesday will offer dry weather, some sunshine, and a high temperature in the mid-to-upper 20s. A weak storm will bring snowflakes on Tuesday night though it’ll track too far to the north to bring significant accumulations and I am keeping my expectation low, maybe just a few inches.
Thursday will be the warmest day of the week with a high temperature in the 30s.
From Thursday night through Friday, expect snow to return. Initially, on Thursday night and early Friday morning, the wind direction from the south and southwest will not be favorable for big snow. Then the wind direction will switch to blow from the west and northwest on Friday and this will bring deeper accumulations. I’ll stick with 4-8 inches as an initial forecast and the deepest powder should be on Friday afternoon through the last chair.
Following the Friday storm, the atmosphere will take a break and it looks like we’ll see dry weather for the MLK holiday weekend and through most of the following week.
Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
