Steamboat Daily Snow

Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest Steamboat Daily Snow

By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 5 years ago November 15, 2019

Update

Opening day is today, Friday, November 15th!

Friday morning temperatures are in the 20s around the lower mountain, rising into the low 30s near mid-mountain. This temperature inversion should even out later in the morning and we’ll see partly sunny weather with highs in the upper 30s to mid-40s through the rest of the day.

On Saturday, I am sorry to say that the chance for 1-4 inches of snow has transitioned to a chance for just a dusting to an inch of snow as the storm will track too far to the northeast. Look for the best chance for a few flakes during the midday and afternoon with temperatures staying in the 30s.

From Sunday to Tuesday, we’ll see dry weather with nighttime lows in the 20s (ok for snowmaking), daytime highs in the 30s to low 40s, and partly to mostly sunny skies.

The longer-range forecast promises much more action, with one storm between Wednesday, November 20th and Sunday, November 24th and another storm around Thanksgiving (Thursday, November 28th). It’ll be fun to have more action in the forecast and I will keep you posted as the storms move closer and we can get a better handle on the details of each possible system.

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