Wednesday was mostly dry as expected, then on Wednesday night, the storm moved across Colorado which brought a few hours of steady snowfall and about 4 inches of snow accumulation at mid-mountain as of 500 am.

For the first half of Thursday, there will be additional snow showers and likely 1-2 inches of snow accumulation thanks to lingering moisture and a semi-favorable wind from the west. Here's to another morning of soft turns:-)

From later Thursday through Sunday, we should see mostly dry weather, with one exception as light snow could fall on Friday night. The latest snow forecast data averaged across multiple models shows just a dusting to 2 inches of accumulation, so we might sneak out some fresh flakes to enjoy on Saturday morning, but overall my forecast confidence is low for this Friday night storm.

Looking ahead to next week, a strong storm will impact Colorado. Monday will bring periods of intense snow, then on Tuesday and Wednesday, we'll have cold temperatures with highs in the single digits, and snow showers should continue each day. Tuesday and/or Wednesday might be powder days, but we will definitely adjust the forecast over the coming days, so stay tuned.

Thanks for reading!
