Copper Mountain Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 7 months ago March 26, 2024
More snow on the way
Summary
Tuesday and Wednesday will bring snow showers, Thursday should be dry, and then we'll see more snow from Thursday night to Saturday.
Update
Monday
Monday morning offered cold powder, and an additional 2 inches of snow fell during the day.
Tuesday & Wednesday
Tuesday morning's conditions should continue to be soft due to the cold temperatures on Monday night. On Tuesday, Tuesday night, and Wednesday morning, we'll see snow showers with a possible 2-5+ inches of accumulation. These "snow shower" situations can produce sneaky fun conditions. Temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday will top out in the upper teens.
Thursday
Thursday should be mostly dry and partly sunny with a warmer daytime high reaching about 30°F.
Thursday Night to Saturday
From Thursday night to Saturday midday, the next storm will bring precipitation to northern and central Colorado. We could see 1-4 inches of snow during this time with the potential for thicker/denser powder on Friday and/or Saturday. The high temperatures on Friday and Saturday should be in the low 30s.
Longer Range
From Sunday to Monday (March 31 to April 1), the next storm could bring snow, though the track of this system is not favorable for significant accumulations. After the storm, most of next week should be dry and feel like spring with high temperatures in the 30s. Then the next chance for a storm, or multiple storms, will be between Friday, April 5, and Monday, April 8.
My next update will be Wednesday morning.
