Copper Mountain Daily Snow

By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 3 years ago March 1, 2022
Warmth for now, snow this weekend
Summary
Tuesday through Thursday will be warm, then winter will return with snow for four days.
Update
Monday was another sunny and warm day with on-mountain highs between 30-40°F.
Tuesday will be another spring-like day with temperatures in the 30s to low 40s and mostly sunny skies.
Wednesday and Thursday will continue the streak of warm days with highs in the upper 30s to low 40s. On Thursday, there will likely be more high clouds filtering the sunshine.
The spring-like weather will come to an end at the end of the week as we will see snow on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and maybe into Monday.
The snow on Friday afternoon, Friday night, and Saturday morning will be showery and hit-or-miss, like summertime thunderstorms.
Then from Saturday night through Monday morning, a second storm should bring a better chance for steadier snow thanks to a somewhat more favorable wind direction from the west.
Total snowfall from Friday afternoon through Monday should be 8-16 inches, and the best chance for softer (and powder) conditions will likely be on Sunday and Monday as waiting until then will give us more time for more snow to fall (Saturday's snow could be sneaky good only if we luck out with the showers on Friday night into Saturday).
After the snowy weather this weekend, we could see a break in the snow for a day or two during the middle of next week, then another storm may arrive around Thursday, March 10.
