Snow Monday night

Summary

Our best chance for snow will be on Monday night into Tuesday morning with 3-6 inches of accumulation.

Short Term Forecast

Opening Day is scheduled for Tuesday, December 1st.

Sunday was dry and mostly sunny with highs in the 30s to low 40s. On Sunday night, we saw a few flakes (literally, just a few flakes on the summit snow stake cam).

On Monday we’ll see a mixed day with some sun, some clouds, and maybe a few snow showers. A storm is currently bringing snow to the southern mountains. On Monday night into Tuesday morning, the storm will move across Colorado and we should see at least a few hours of steady snow with 3-6 inches of accumulation. On Tuesday, there could be a few leftover flakes in the air but a wind from the northwest and north-northwest is not conducive to significant accumulation.

Wednesday and Thursday should be mostly dry with high temperatures in the upper 20s to mid 30s.

The next chance for snow will be around Thursday night into Friday morning. This will be a weak storm with limited moisture so my expectations are quite low. Maybe we’ll sneak out a coating to an inch or two if we’re fortunate.

Extended Forecast

I am watching December 1-2 and December 6-8 as our next chances for snow. Unfortunately, neither storm appears like it will bring significant snow. The forecast could change, and I hope it does, but for now, I have low expectations for snowfall through the first 10 days of December.

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