Steamboat Daily Snow

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

By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 3 years ago February 15, 2021

Storms on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday at Steamboat

Summary

Snow will ramp up on Monday evening and Tuesday should offer new snow and soft turns.

Short Term Forecast

Monday morning should be a mix of dry weather and maybe a few light snow showers.

Then from Monday afternoon through Tuesday night, the next storm will bring significant snowfall with accumulations between 6-12 inches. Tuesday should be a powder day with conditions getting deeper through the day. If snow hangs on through Tuesday evening, then Wednesday morning will also be soft.

On Wednesday and Thursday, snow showers could stick around, but lessening moisture should mean that snow accumulations are light.

On Friday, a weak storm should deliver light accumulations.

On Saturday afternoon through Sunday, yet another storm should deliver snow with an early estimate of moderate accumulations totaling 5-10 inches.

Extended Forecast

The week of February 22-26 is tough to pin down right now. While most models trend toward drier weather with the storm track staying to our north, some other models show the storm track sagging far enough south to bring more snow to northern Colorado. Let’s hope the latter scenario is what comes true!

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