Steamboat Daily Snow

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

Snow likely on Thursday at Steamboat

Summary

Sunday to Wednesday should be dry, then we’ll see chances for snow on Thursday and again on Saturday. Looking ahead, the second half of January should be far stormier compared to the first half of the month.

Short Term Forecast

Saturday was dry, then a few clouds and maybe a few flakes moved over on Saturday night as the storm stayed far to the south of Colorado.

From Sunday through Wednesday, expect dry weather and warming temperatures which will stay in the teens on Sunday and then will rise to the 20s and 30s on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

Our next chance for snow will be on Thursday as a storm tracks just to the north and east of Colorado and brushes the northern mountains with flakes.

Following a dry day on Friday, snow should return from Saturday into Sunday as another storm tracks just to the north and east of Colorado.

Both the Thursday and the Saturday/Sunday storms could bring low-to-moderate amounts of snow. Don’t get your hopes up too much, but it’s great to have snow in the forecast following a stretch of drier weather.

Extended Forecast

Sometime between January 18-20, we could see another storm sweep into Colorado.

Then between January 21-25, and likely extending to the end of January, a stormy pattern should set up over the Rockies and the western US. This should, hopefully, with just a little luck, lead to many chances for snow.

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