Copper Mountain Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 8 months ago March 9, 2024
Sunny weekend, storm next week
Summary
We'll see two days of dry and mostly sunny weather, and then the next storm should deliver snow during the middle of next week.
Update
Friday
Friday delivered snow showers with 4 inches at mid-mountain. Most of this snow fell during the day and so will already be tracked by Saturday morning.
Saturday & Sunday
Both Saturday and Sunday will be dry and mostly sunny. The high temperature on Saturday should be in the upper 20s and the high temperature on Sunday will be a little warmer, in the low 30s.
Monday & Tuesday
On Monday and Tuesday, we will likely see more clouds as well as snow showers. These showers will be generated by weak storm energy that will track through Colorado ahead of the main storm that will arrive later in the week. The high temperature on these days will be in the low 30s.
Tuesday Night & Wednesday
From Tuesday night through Wednesday (and perhaps into Thursday), a storm will track over or near Colorado. The storm's track will likely not favor Copper, so I'll pencil in 4-8 inches with a low-to-medium amount of powder on Wednesday and/or Thursday.
After the storm, we'll see dry weather from about Friday, March 15 to about Thursday, March 21, and then snow should return to Colorado sometime during the final ten days of March, starting as early as about Friday, March 22.
My next update will be Sunday morning.
Thanks for reading!
