Steamboat Daily Snow

By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 6 years ago January 15, 2019
Update
Tuesday
The day will start dry with some sunshine, then clouds will increase during the midday and afternoon with on-mountain temperatures rising into the mid-20s.
Storm #1, Tuesday night to Wednesday night
The first system of the week is not very strong but it will bring a lot of moisture, so we might see significant snow after all.
Expect snow to begin on Tuesday night and continue through Wednesday night. As the wind direction swings around to blow from the west on Wednesday afternoon, this might be the time when we see the most intense snow.
I think 4-8 inches is a good estimate for this storm, and the powder should be best on Wednesday afternoon and maybe Thursday morning if enough snow falls after lifts close on Wednesday afternoon.
Storm #2, Thursday night to Saturday morning
This storm will be stronger than the first system, and we’ll see snow from Thursday evening through Friday afternoon with 4-8 inches and powder on Friday. If some snow continues through later on Friday evening, then Saturday morning will be soft as well.
Next week
We could see two storms, one around Tuesday, January 22nd, and another later in the week. I’ll keep you posted as the details become more certain.
Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
