Copper Mountain Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 7 months ago March 29, 2024
Stormy through Monday
Summary
We saw light snow on Thursday night, we'll be on the edge of additional snow on Friday and Friday night, we'll see drier weather on Saturday, and then more snow will fall on Sunday into Monday.
Update
Thursday
Thursday was dry, partly sunny, breezy, and dry.
Thursday Night
The storm arrived around midnight and by Friday morning at sunrise, 1 inch fell at mid-mountain with higher snow totals just to our west.
Friday to Monday Night
We will see additional snow from Friday through Monday night with 3-8+ inches of accumulation.
On Friday and Friday night, we could see 1-4+ inches. With abundant moisture, snow totals may be higher than expected, but we'll also be on the edge of the snow and the most snow could stay just to our west. Temperatures will be in the 20s on Friday.
On Saturday, we may see a break in the snow during the day with a high temperature in the low 30s.
Then from Saturday night to Monday, additional rounds of snow could bring 3-6+ inches of accumulation, and the best chances for powder will be on Sunday and also 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 Sunday, April 7, the next storm could bring snow and the potential for a day or two of powder.
My next update will be Saturday morning.
Thanks for reading!
