Copper Mountain Daily Snow

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

Wind coming on Tuesday

Summary

Monday will be dry, then Tuesday will bring snow and very strong winds.

Update

Sunday brought 3-4 inches in the morning due to a narrow band of snow, then the afternoon turned out to be partly sunny as the narrow band of snow moved south of the mountain.

Now on Monday, we'll enjoy dry weather, highs in the 30s, and lots of sunshine in the morning with more clouds during the afternoon.

From Monday night through Wednesday morning, there will be 2-5 inches of snow with most of this falling during the day on Tuesday. However, 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 look at Wednesday as a day to find some powder stashes that might not have been touched on Tuesday. Also on Wednesday, watch out for an upside surprise in terms of snow – even though we'll have very little moisture, temperatures will be in a good zone and the jet stream will be overhead. Temperatures on Tuesday will be in the 20s and on Wednesday it'll be cooler with highs in the teens.

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be sunny and dry with warming temperatures. Highs will be in the 20s on Thursday, in the 30s on Friday, and in the 40s on Saturday.

Then on Sunday, we might eke out a dry day, or we could see some snow from an incoming storm - it's too soon to tell which will occur.

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