Sunday was mostly sunny for the first half of the day and then we saw more clouds and a few snow showers later in the day with no accumulation.

For Monday, we’ll see dry weather for most of the day and winds will be strong with gusts near or faster than 40mph from late morning through the afternoon.

Then from Monday afternoon through Tuesday at sunrise, expect times of intense snow as a strong and fast-moving storm tracks directly across Colorado.

For the snow forecast by Tuesday morning at sunrise, I’ll stick with about 3-6 inches. However, due to the strength of the storm, there could be more snow than this. I always try to set reasonable expectations and we can always hope for more snow! The snow quality should be fluffy thanks to cold temperatures which will be in the single digits on Tuesday morning.

Tuesday will be mostly dry, then we’ll see snow showers return on Tuesday night and continue through Saturday morning. I have low confidence in this forecast – we might see a few inches each day and/or night with soft conditions through the week, or accumulations could be much lower with just light snow showers.

Looking ahead to closing weekend, Saturday could be a mixed day with lingering showers and cooler temperatures. Then Sunday should be a warm and sunny day, which is just what we would hope for during the last day of the season.

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