Copper Mountain Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 3 years ago April 14, 2021
Times of snowfall continue through Friday at Copper
Summary
We will see waves of snow every 24 hours through the weekend with some freshies possible each morning.
Short Term Forecast
On Tuesday, we saw scattered snow showers with light accumulations. Temperatures rose to the mid-30s.
On Tuesday night, snow showers were in the vicinity, but the steadier snow stayed to our east and the strongest cells tracked to the north and west. This left us with just one inch of new snow.
On Wednesday, most of the day should be dry with a high in the mid-to-upper 30s.
On Wednesday afternoon and evening, we could see more flakes though accumulations should be light.
Then from Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon, the strongest and coldest part of the storm will bring the best chance for some powder. Keep your eye on Friday as a time when we might enjoy more snow with accumulations of 3-6+ inches.
Extended Forecast
Saturday and Sunday look like they will be drier days with highs in the 20s.
From later Monday into Tuesday, a system should side-swipe Colorado from the northeast and we might see light accumulations.
Then another storm might arrive on or around Thursday and Friday, April 22-23.
Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
