Copper Mountain Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 2 years ago April 3, 2022
On and off snow for the next few days
Summary
We'll see two storms, snow, and wind through Wednesday.
Update
Saturday was warm and sunny.
Late on Saturday night, we saw a bit of snow with a coating at mid-mountain.
Now on Sunday, a band of snow has set up along the I-70 corridor and we should see at least 1-2 inches this morning with soft conditions and snow maybe lightening up by around midday. Temperatures will be in the 20s during the snow. While most of Sunday afternoon and Sunday night will trend drier, there is a chance for a few more snow showers during this time.
On Monday, we'll see dry weather with a high in the 30s and there should be a decent amount of sunshine.
The next storm will bring snow from Monday night through Wednesday morning, with the most intense snow falling on Tuesday morning and midday. While snowfall could be in the 2-5+ inch range with some powder on Tuesday, the big story will be very strong winds on Monday night and Tuesday which could force some lifts to not open during the day on Tuesday. For this reason, I'd also look at Wednesday as a day to find some powder stashes that might not have been touched on Tuesday. Temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday should be in the teens to low 20s.
Following this storm, we'll see dry weather on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with temperatures warming each day. Highs on Thursday will be in the 20s and they will zoom up to the 40s by Saturday.
Thanks for reading and please check back each morning for daily updates!
