Copper Mountain Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 2 years ago April 14, 2022
Winter trying to hang on
Summary
We saw light snow on Wednesday and Wednesday night, and more of that is coming up, along with somewhat warmer temperatures.
Update
Wednesday was a mixed day with some breaks of sun and some snow showers with about 1 inch of accumulation. Temperatures were chilly, only in the single digits and low teens.
Wednesday night brought a few more snow showers and 1-2 inches of additional accumulation.
Now on Thursday morning, there will be a little soft snow to enjoy thanks to the showers on Wednesday night, and temperatures are still cold will readings around 10°F.
On Thursday during the day, temperatures will rise into the 20s and we'll see a mix of sun, clouds, and maybe a few snow showers.
On Thursday night into Friday, a few more snow showers will likely hit the mountain with light accumulations (a coating to an inch or two). Friday's temperature will be warmer than the past few days with a high in the 30s.
For the weekend, Saturday will be dry for most of the day with a high in the 30s, then a fast-moving storm will bring some snow on Saturday night with perhaps 1-3 inches of accumulation by mid-morning on Sunday. And Sunday should wind up being a mixed day with snow showers, clouds, and sunshine and a high in the low 30s.
Next week will be dry (maybe a few snow showers around Wednesday, April 20th) with warm temperatures rising into the 40s each day. The next chance for a storm will be around April 23-25.
Thanks for reading and please check back each morning for daily updates!
