Copper Mountain Daily Snow

Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest Copper Mountain Daily Snow

By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 10 days ago November 14, 2024

Dry, then cooler, then snow

Summary

Thursday and Friday will be dry and warm, Saturday and Sunday will be cloudier and cooler, and then we should see snow around Tuesday, November 19.

Update

Wednesday was a fun early-season day with 7 inches of fresh snow available for first tracks. Then the rest of the day was sunny and warmer with a high temperature touching the low 30s.

Now on Thursday morning, skies are clear, and overnight readings below freezing are leading to additional snowmaking across the mountain.

Thursday and Friday will both be sunny and warm with a high temperature in the upper 30s.

Saturday and Sunday will be mostly dry with a low chance for snow showers, and temperatures will be cooler with highs in the 20s.

Monday will be an in-between day with more clouds and a high temperature still in the 20s.

Our next chance for a storm will be from Monday night through Wednesday morning. There continues to be a wide range of possible snow totals, with some models showing no snow and others showing 4-6 inches. A blended forecast is usually best, so we'll look for perhaps 2-4 inches of snow with some potential powder on Tuesday.

After that, we'll likely see cool temperatures and dry weather heading into the final week of November.

My next update will be on Friday morning.

Thanks for reading!
