Tuesday

The official report shows 1 inch of new snow at mid-mountain on Monday night with no snow at the summit (this is on top of the 6-9 inches that accumulated on Sunday night into Monday morning). The temperature now on Tuesday morning is cold, right around 0F from base to summit, and the cold will be the story of the day with readings only rising into the upper single digits to around 10F. Morning clouds should give way to partly-to-mostly sunny skies, so the sun will help take the edge off the cold.

Wednesday through Saturday

Enjoy dry and sunny weather for these four days. Temperatures on Wednesday will warm into the upper teens to low 20s, and then highs on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will hit the upper 20s to low 30s.

Snow Sunday and Monday

My confidence is increasing that we’ll see snowflakes from Saturday night through Monday, and potentially into Tuesday. Right now I would target Monday (January 7) as the potential day with the most snow, though the storm is still five days away so there will be changes to the forecast.

The next storm

The middle of next week might be on the drier side, then most models continue to hint that another storm will head toward Colorado on or around Friday, January 11th.

Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
