Copper Mountain Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 3 years ago April 12, 2021
Powder possible Wed, Thu, and Fri at Copper
Summary
Monday will be dry with high temperatures around 40 degrees. On Tuesday into Wednesday, we will see snow with potential powder on Wednesday morning and additional chances for powder later in the week.
Short Term Forecast
Sunday’s weather was sunny with comfortable high temperatures in the upper 30s to mid-40s.
Monday’s weather will be similar to Sunday with sunny skies for most of the day and high temperatures on either side of 40 degrees. This will be the last fully dry day for a while.
From Monday night through Tuesday, I expect scattered snow showers with maybe a coating to a few inches of accumulation.
Then from Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday night, a steadier round of snow should deliver 2-4+ inches and Wednesday morning has a chance to offer a low-to-moderate amount of fresh powder.
Extended Forecast
Beyond Wednesday, there could be two additional rounds of snow later this week.
On Wednesday night into Thursday, models are split as to whether we will see additional steady snowfall. There could be powder on Thursday morning if this happens, but it’s still uncertain.
On Thursday night into Friday, I have higher confidence for another round of snow, so watch Friday morning as there could be powder to enjoy.
Looking ahead to the weekend, we should see additional chances for snow, but I cannot pinpoint if any of the snow will be steady enough to bring moderate powder days or if the snow will be more showery. I’ll keep you posted.
Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
