Tuesday was a snowy day. We saw 3 inches accumulate during the day, and then after a break, an additional 1 inch fell on Tuesday night. Enjoy soft turns on Wednesday morning!

Wednesday and Thursday will be dry and sunny.

On Thursday night, a weak storm may bring a few flakes, but accumulations are unlikely.

Friday will be a flip back to dry weather.

On Saturday, a storm will take an unfavorable track to the south of Colorado and we’ll likely see just clouds and maybe light snow showers.

The longer-range outlook has not changed much from my previous forecast.

From Sunday, January 10 to Sunday, January 17 will be mostly dry. We might see a storm try to sneak in around Tuesday, January 13th, but the odds of big snow are low. Otherwise, this period looks mostly dry.

The week from Monday, January 18 to Sunday, January 24 has a better chance for snow as a stormier pattern tries to push from the southeast back westward to the northern Rockies. I am watching the weekend of January 16-17 through this week of the 18-24th as a time when we could transition to a stormier pattern.

The week of Monday, January 25 to Sunday, January 31 looks like it could be stormy over the Rockies, and hopefully, this translates into significant snow for us. Most longer-range models show this stormy pattern to close out January, and we could sure use it. Fingers crossed!

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