This Week

Monday and Tuesday were dry, mostly sunny, and warm, with on-mountain high temperatures around 40°F. Tuesday was breezy due to a storm that tracked to the north of Colorado.

Wednesday will be similar to Tuesday, with on-mountain high temperatures around 40°F, and the gusty winds will continue.

Thursday will be another mostly sunny day, and the wind speeds will slow with a high temperature in the mid-40s.

Then Friday and Saturday will be very warm and the on-mountain high temperature will be in the low 50s.

Snow conditions this week will be typical for spring, with firm snow in the morning, followed by soft/corn/slushy snow during the midday and afternoon.

Longer Range

A storm will clip northern Colorado late this weekend, and both Sunday and Monday will be cooler, with a high temperature in the upper 30s to low 40s. There will be a chance for snow and maybe light accumulations on both days.

Another chance for 'some weather' will occur later next week around April 18-19 and again around April 21-23.

Copper's closing day is scheduled for May 11.
