Periods of snow for a few days at Steamboat

Summary

We saw snow Friday night into Saturday morning, and additional light snow should fall at times during the next few days.

Short Term Forecast

On Friday afternoon, we saw 1-2 inches of snow, then on Friday night, an additional 1-2 inches of snow accumulated.

Steamboat just installed a live webcam showing the official mid-mountain snow stake, so now we can keep an eye on this in real-time as well as the summit snow stake which has been shown via a live cam for the last few years.

The weather on Saturday will be mixed with a better chance for snow showers earlier in the day and midday, with a lower chance for snow and likely drier weather later Saturday through Saturday night.

On Sunday afternoon through Monday, another wave or two of energy could move across Colorado, though southwest flow is not favorable and should limit snowfall to just light accumulations.

On Tuesday, another wave of energy should move across Colorado, though southwest flow will continue and this should limit snowfall to just light accumulations.

Extended Forecast

Our next chance for snow should be on Saturday, January 30th. This storm could be on the weaker side.

Following that, there will be a chance for snow around Wednesday, February 3rd. This storm could be on the stronger side.

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