Steamboat Daily Snow

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

Next storm Saturday into Sunday at Steamboat

Summary

Thursday should be on the drier side, then Friday will bring light snow and Saturday will bring a stronger storm with snow falling into Sunday morning.

Short Term Forecast

On Wednesday and Wednesday night, snow showers continued with 4-6 inches of snow accumulating across the mountain. Most of this snow fell on Wednesday morning.

Now on Thursday, we should see a mix of dry weather, clouds, breaks of sunshine, and occasional light snow showers with little or no accumulation.

On Friday morning and midday, a weak storm will bring more clouds and a chance for steadier snow showers. Accumulations should be light, anything between a coating to a few inches.

Then from Saturday late morning or midday through Sunday early morning, a stronger storm will bring significant snow. I still like 5-10 inches as the most likely snow forecast and the timing of the storm means that the softest powder should be on Sunday morning.

Extended Forecast

We will start next week with dry weather on Monday and Tuesday, February 22-23.

Then snow should return sometime between Wednesday, February 24, and Thursday, February 25.

After that, a stormy weather pattern over the west and the Rockies should bring additional chances for snow during the weekend of February 27-28 and into the first three days of March.

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