The recent storm on Wednesday night delivered about 6 inches, then the weather on Thursday was mostly cloudy with light snow showers, and temperatures were chilly with highs in the teens.

On Thursday night, the second round of storm energy crossed Colorado from northwest to southeast, and this kicked off a few snow showers that produced about 1 inch of accumulation on the mid-mountain snow stake.

Friday's weather will become progressively drier and sunnier throughout the day, and temperatures will remain chilly, starting off in the single digits in the morning and warming a bit into the teens during the day.

The weekend will be warm and dry with high temperatures both days of around 30 degrees. Skies will be mostly cloudy during the day on Saturday as high clouds filter the sunshine, then skies will be mostly sunny on Sunday.

Looking ahead to next week, the main story will be colder-than-average temperatures with daytime highs mostly staying in the teens. This should allow crews to make snow around the clock from the summit to the base, so there could be some more terrain openings following opening day which will be on Monday, November 14.

In terms of natural snow, we'll have a chance for light-ish snow totals from Sunday evening through Wednesday morning (November 13-16) and again later in the week from next Friday to next Sunday (November 18-20). Both of these storms will likely have limited moisture, which will mean lower-end snowfall, though the storm around November 18-20 could be the stronger of the two systems.
