Copper is being squeezed by a dry high pressure system to the west and storms moving through the plains to the east. This will yield a partly to mostly cloudy day on Saturday with snow flurries and snow showers on Saturday afternoon, evening, and into Sunday morning as a storm slides to our east. I'm expecting little to no accumulation from these showers, but would love to be surprised with a bit more.

From Sunday through Tuesday, expect dry weather with sunny skies and high temperatures in the 40s on Monday. Time for the t-shirt and sunscreen! A weak storm will push through the western high pressure system during the middle of next week, and this should bring clouds and snow showers with a few inches of accumulation back into the forecast for Tuesday night and Wednesday. Another weak system with a few inches of snow is possible late next week as well.
