We’ll see two more days of warm and sunny weather on Monday and Tuesday with high temperatures in the upper 40s and low 50s. The only interruption to this dry weather will be a brief shower around midnight on Monday night.

Then, Wednesday will be a transition day as more clouds move over Colorado in advance of our next storm. Expect to see snow fall on Thursday, with heavy snow likely from Thursday afternoon through Friday morning. The average of most models shows 4-8 inches for Copper by Friday morning, but we could get more than this as the storm will likely slow down and strengthen as it crosses Colorado. Keep your eye on Friday morning as a potential powder day!

Following this storm, Saturday will be dry, then the next storm will bring snow on Sunday and Monday, March 26-27. And the longer-range models point toward stormy weather sticking around for most of the end of March and through at least the first few days of April, which means that more powder days are in our future!
