Copper Mountain Daily Snow

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

Dry weekend then light snow Sunday night

Summary

We'll see dry weather and somewhat cloudy skies this weekend, then snowflakes may return as early as Sunday evening.

Update

Friday was a partly cloudy day with chilly temperatures in the teens.

Now on Saturday morning, skies are sunny and temperatures are cold - in the teens near the summit and in the single digits near the base.

For Saturday and Sunday, expect dry weather, daytime high temperatures rising to around 30 degrees, and skies will be partly to mostly cloudy as high-altitude clouds filter the sunshine.

Looking ahead to next week, we'll see chilly weather with daytime highs in the teens which will allow 24-hour snowmaking from base to summit.

In terms of natural snow, we could see light snow from Sunday night through Tuesday morning, and again later in the week from around Thursday night through Saturday. Both of these times of potential snow will likely result in just light accumulations as each storm will have very little moisture to work with. Still, we'll take the flakes and the cool temperatures for now.

The longer-range forecast is a little more hopeful as a stormier weather pattern might set up starting around Thanksgiving.

Thanks for reading!
