Monday was sunny and warm with a high temperature in the mid-30s, and Tuesday and Wednesday will be the same with warm sunshine and highs in the 30s. Enjoy the springtime feel in the air!

The next storm will bring snow during the day on Thursday with flakes likely continuing to fall until about Thursday at midnight. During Thursday morning and midday, expect on-then-off snow squalls, and on Thursday afternoon and Thursday night, expect the chance for steadier snow since this is when we’ll see a more favorable wind direction from the northwest. Total snowfall should be 3-6 inches and if the storm really cranks up the favorable northwest wind on Thursday evening, we could hit 8 inches. There should be soft turns during Thursday's last chair and then I think there will be deeper snow likely during Friday's first chair.

Friday and Saturday, March 5-6, will dry and warm with high temperatures in the 30s.

On Sunday, March 7, a weak system could brush us with clouds and a chance for a little bit of snow.

On Monday, March 8, we’ll return to warm and dry weather.

Then from March 9-11, a cold and strong storm should bring multiple days of snow to Colorado and we’ll have to watch these dates to see if there will be one (or two) powder days in the mix.

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