Steamboat Daily Snow

By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 6 years ago April 3, 2019
Update
Wednesday
Tuesday was mostly dry, then another round of showers hit on Tuesday night with 1-2 inches of snow falling on the mountain. This brings our total to 2-4 inches from this weak, multi-day storm.
I am expecting additional snow showers Wednesday and Wednesday night with 1-3 inches of accumulation by Thursday morning. If this happens, our 3-day snow total will be about 3-6 inches, which is in line with what we were expecting.
Thursday – Friday
We’ll swing back to dry weather with warmer afternoon high temperatures in the upper 30s to low 40s. Some clouds could linger both days, with a low chance for showers on Friday afternoon.
Saturday – Sunday
Both days will bring some sunshine, some clouds, and we’ll also see a higher chance for showers on Saturday afternoon. The latest models show just light accumulations, in the range of 1-3 inches.
Longer Range
My confidence is increasing that we’ll see a colder and stronger storm around Wednesday, April 10 to Thursday, April 11. Stay tuned for details as the storm moves closer. Plus, there is a chance for more snow through closing day, which is April 14th.
Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
