Friday

Thursday night's storm delivered 4 inches at mid-mountain and the summit.

This was a good result from the storm that didn't take an ideal track for Steamboat, and the new snow should ride nicely on Friday morning.

Weatherwise on Friday, there could be lingering snow showers during the morning, then the rest of the day will be dry with a high temperature in the 20s.

Longer Range

The longer-range outlook is pretty clear.

  • Saturday and Sunday, Feb 22-23: Dry and mostly sunny. Highs in the 20s and 30s.

  • Monday, Feb 24: More clouds and a few flakes with little or no snow accumulation. Highs in the 20s and 30s.

  • Tuesday, Feb 25: Dry and mostly sunny. Highs in the 30s.

  • Wednesday, Feb 26: A few flakes and some clouds. Cooler temperatures in the 20s.

  • Thursday and Friday, Feb 27-28: Dry and mostly sunny. Highs in the 30s.

  • Saturday and Sunday, Mar 1-2: Likely dry and warm with highs in the 30s. Some models show precipitation returning, but most models keep the precipitation away until the following week.

Finally, during the week of March 3-7, most versions of most models agree that storms will return to the Rockies, so we will likely see snow during this time.
