Thursday and Friday will offer mostly sunny skies and afternoon high temperatures in the 40s. It’s spring, and it’ll feel like spring. Please wear sunscreen and enjoy this fantastic weather!

Our next storm will move into Colorado on Saturday. Most of the day will be dry with more clouds and a gusty wind during the afternoon, and then expect snow showers to begin on Saturday late afternoon through evening. We should see a chance for snow through Saturday night, Sunday, and Sunday night. Total snowfall should be in the 3-6 inch range, though we might see higher amounts if the storm tracks a bit further south and brings a wind from the northwest rather than west. The best powder will likely be on Sunday and/or Monday first chair.

After this system, I think most of next week will be dry, and we might see a bit more snow leading up to or during closing weekend (April 15-16). I’ll keep you updated!
