Steamboat Daily Snow

By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 6 years ago January 23, 2019
Update
Wednesday
On Tuesday night, we saw light snow (1-2 inches) and expect times of light-to-moderate snow through the day on Wednesday with conditions softening through the day. Then on Wednesday night, there should be intense snow with a favorable wind direction from the west and west-northwest. This should produce deep accumulations!
Thursday Powder Day!
All signs continue to point to a deep and fluffy powder day on Thursday morning with 10-15 inches of Champagne Powder™️ to start your day. Based on cool temperatures and a favorable wind from the west and west-northwest, these amounts seem like a good bet. Snow should continue through mid-morning and then likely taper off by midday or early afternoon.
Light snow through Saturday
While the most intense snow should end on Thursday midday, additional light snow should fall from Thursday through Saturday with a few inches possible each day and night as storm energy tracks across northern Colorado. Conditions should stay soft and fun.
Next Storm
We will likely see another system from late Sunday into Monday, and the main impacts will be light snow accumulations and very cold air for the start of next week.
