Copper Mountain Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 3 years ago April 21, 2021
Showers through the end of the week at Copper
Summary
We’ll see snow showers on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday with a few inches of total accumulation. Then closing weekend should be mostly dry and warmer.
Short Term Forecast
Tuesday morning offered fun powder – I hope that you enjoyed it! The rest of the day was partly to mostly sunny and dry.
Now on Wednesday morning, clouds and snow showers have returned and we should see times of snow showers on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and even into Friday night. I have low confidence in the details of this forecast and I am keeping my snow expectations on the low side with accumulations of just a couple of inches. But if we can keep the snow showers going over three days, then maybe we can keep soft snow around with maybe the best riding on Thursday, Friday, and/or Saturday morning.
Extended Forecast
Looking at closing weekend, Saturday should be mostly dry with temperatures in the 30s to low 40s and just a slight chance for a shower. Then on Sunday, we’ll see warmer temperatures with highs in the 40s to 50s and the weather should be dry and partly sunny.
Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
