Copper Mountain Daily Snow

Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest Copper Mountain Daily Snow

Sunny for four days, then a storm

Summary

Enjoy the sunshine on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, and then snow should return on Tuesday into Wednesday.

Update

On Thursday, fluffy snow fell during most of the day with 2 inches of accumulation at the mid-mountain snow stake.

On Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, it'll be four days with sunny skies and warmer temperatures. Friday will be cooler with a high around 20°F, then the high temperature on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday will rise to the upper 20s to mid-30s. Each morning could feature a temperature inversion, where temperatures at the base are 5-15 degrees colder than temperatures higher up on the mountain.

Our next chance for snow will be from a storm that moves through on Tuesday, February 1, to Wednesday, February 2. There is a high likelihood that we will see snow during these days, but there is also a pretty high likelihood that the amount of snow will be on the lower side. Still, there could be some soft turns on Tuesday and/or Wednesday, and if the storm takes a somewhat more favorable track, our snow totals could wind up being more significant.

Following the storm on February 1-2, there could be light snow showers during February 3-5, and then there's about a 50/50 chance that we could see a moderate or strong storm during the following week of February 7-11.

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