Copper Mountain Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 8 months ago April 17, 2024
Showery through Saturday, sunnier on Sunday
Summary
Following Tuesday's powder, we'll see clouds and showers from Wednesday through Saturday, with sunny and warm weather likely on Sunday.
Update
Tuesday
Tuesday was a late-season powder day with 21 (!) inches of total snowfall. The sky stayed cloudy for most of the day, keeping temperatures cool with a high in the 30s.
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, we'll see mostly cloudy skies, occasional showers, and a high temperature in the upper 30s to low 40s.
Friday Night & Saturday
On Friday night, the final wave of showers should move across Colorado, and we could see anything from just a few more snowflakes, all the way to 1-3+ inches of accumulation. So on Saturday, there might be some new snow (powder?) in the morning, and the high temperature will again be around 40 degrees.
Sunday
To end the weekend on Sunday, I think that skies will transition to be mostly sunny and the high temperature should be in the mid-40s.
Longer Range
Most of next week should be dry with a high temperature in the 40s, and then our next chance for a storm will be around the weekend of April 27-28.
My next update will be Thursday morning, and while the season has been extended into May, I will wrap up my daily posts early next week.
Thanks for reading!
