Wednesday

Wednesday started with soft, cold snow and lingering snow showers, then the afternoon was drier with a high temperature in the upper teens to 20s.

Thursday

Thursday will start with partly cloudy skies and dry weather.

Thursday's weather should oscillate between some sunshine and increasing clouds as moisture arrives ahead of the next storm. The high temperature should be around 30°F.

Thursday Night to Monday Night

From Thursday night to Monday night, multiple storms will move through Colorado, and Copper should see 5-10 inches of snow.

The first round of snow will fall between Thursday night and Friday afternoon with 2-4 inches of accumulation. Friday may have powder in the morning with more snow falling during the day, and temperatures will be warm, so the snow quality should be thicker than average.

The second round of snow could be from Friday night through Saturday midday with a few inches of accumulation. Temperatures will continue to be warm.

The third round of snow should be from Sunday midday through Monday afternoon or evening with another 2-4+ inches of accumulation. Temperatures will be cooler so the new snow should be fluffier on Monday.

Longer Range

On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (April 2-4), we will see dry, mostly sunny, and warm weather with high temperatures in the 30s to low 40s.

Then from Friday, April 5 to Wednesday, April 10, multiple storms will track close to or through Colorado, and we will likely see cooler temperatures and more snow for at least a few of these days.

My next update will be Friday morning.
