Steamboat Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 3 years ago March 26, 2021
Snow showers on Friday & Friday night at Steamboat
Summary
Snow showers dropped 1-3 inches on Thursday and Thursday night, and we should see another few inches on Friday and Friday night.
Short Term Forecast
On Thursday we saw snow showers with 1-2 inches during the morning and then an additional 1 inch accumulated on Thursday night.
Now on Friday, we’ll see additional snow showers during the day and through Friday night as well. Accumulations will again be random and light, anything from a coating to about 4 inches.
Saturday could offer a little bit of new snow for the morning's first chair if we see some showers on Friday night.
Otherwise, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday will be dry and warmer each day with highs in the 30s on Saturday and in the 40s on Sunday and Monday.
Extended Forecast
The next storm will bring snow from Monday evening through Tuesday. My initial estimate is for about 3-6 inches with the best chance for powder on Tuesday. We will dial in this forecast over the next few days.
Then April 1-5 should be dry and warm.
Between April 6-10, most longer-range models show a chance for snow to return, so we will likely not be done with winter just yet!
Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
