Update

Steamboat is reporting 11 inches on the summit for Saturday morning's report. This is slightly higher than expected but I believe the wind shifted just enough to the west to deliver us an extra few inches. The turns will be soft and surfy so get out there and enjoy!

Mostly sunny skies and mild temperatures will now be the story on Saturday and into Sunday. There's still just enough moisture to produce a few clouds and high-elevation showers but this shouldn't put a damper on the beautiful weekend. Look for daytime highs in the upper 30s to low 40s, with overnight lows only dropping into the 20s on Saturday night.

Our next weather-maker will then begin to make its presence felt by Sunday evening with clouds and chances for snow through Sunday night. Look for a dusting to maybe an inch or two through Monday morning.

This slow-moving storm for Monday and Tuesday will then shift and focus on areas to our east through Monday night. Periods of light snow should still be in the works but I'm only expecting 1-3 inches by Tuesday morning.

Following a break during the second half of Tuesday and into Wednesday, we'll be watching for another quick-moving system through Wednesday night. Confidence is still low but this could provide us with a refresh by Thursday morning.

Looking further ahead, dry conditions will look to prevail for the final days of March and into the first week of April. Colorado will be right on the edge of the main storm track to our north and only a slight shift south could bring us back into the party so always, stay tuned for the latest update each morning.

Thanks for reading!
