Copper Mountain Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 3 years ago April 24, 2021
Mostly dry and windy for closing weekend at Copper
Summary
Saturday and Sunday will bring warm weather with highs generally in the 40s. We'll see a few showers on Saturday night along with gusty winds on Sunday.
Short Term Forecast
Friday morning was soft thanks to 3 inches of snow during the previous 24 hours. Then Friday’s weather was mixed with times of sunshine and times of snow showers that produced about an inch of accumulation during the day and another inch during the evening.
On Saturday, we’ll see some clouds and temperatures should rise to the upper 30s to low-40s.
On Sunday, we’ll see fewer clouds, warmer temperatures in the 40s to low-50s, and winds will be gusty with speeds of 35-50mph.
Extended Forecast
Sunday is closing day at Copper, so sadly, there is no longer-range forecast (though there will be more snow on April 27-28 and May 3-5:-).
Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
