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

Powder likely on Wednesday & Saturday at Steamboat

Summary

Monday will be another dry and windy day. On Tuesday and Tuesday night, snow will fall, and Wednesday will likely be a powder day.

Short Term Forecast

Sunday was a dry, sunny, and windy day with gusts of 50+ mph at the summit.

Monday will be another dry day. We’ll see more clouds and continued gusty winds, though speeds could be a little slower compared to Sunday.

On Monday night, snowflakes should begin to fall around midnight, and snow will continue all day on Tuesday, throughout Tuesday night, and at least into Wednesday morning (snow showers may fall during Wednesday midday and afternoon as well). Wednesday should be a powder day as most models are forecasting 8-16+ inches of accumulation.

From Wednesday night to Thursday, we might see a break in the snowfall or just lighter accumulations.

Then from Thursday night to Saturday, another storm will bring snow and my early estimate is that we’ll see 6-12 inches by Saturday morning and the best snow will likely be on Saturday.

Extended Forecast

The next storm should move into Colorado on Sunday into Monday, though there is a chance that this storm will dive a little too far to the south to bring us a lot of snow.

Then during the week of February 15-21, most models show that additional storms will move into Colorado from the west or northwest. This is good news and should keep the snowy times going!
