Snow on Wednesday
Summary
A storm crossing Colorado on Wednesday will bring snow for most of the day and maybe into the evening.
Update
On Tuesday, we started the day with a dusting of new snow and added about an inch of snow during the morning. On Tuesday afternoon, the snow stopped, then on Tuesday night, the next storm dropped about 1 inch.
Now on Wednesday morning, we've seen another inch of snow before sunrise, the storm is crossing Colorado, and we should see snow ramp up during the day with 2-4+ inches on Wednesday with snow getting softer and deeper throughout the day.
On Wednesday evening, snowfall should wane, but we could still grab a couple of fluffy inches during the evening which would lead to additional soft turns and maybe powder on Thursday morning.
After the storm moves away on Wednesday night, we will see dry weather on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Thursday will be sunny with a high temperature in the 20s, Friday will be sunny with a high temperature in the 30s, and Saturday could have high clouds filtering the sunshine with a high temperature in the 30s.
Then we will head back into a stormy period with three storms next week. The first storm could be Sunday into Monday, the second storm could be Tuesday into Wednesday, and the third storm could be Thursday into Friday.
