Cooler Sunday then snow on Tuesday

Summary

Temperatures will be warm through Saturday then cool a few degrees on Sunday. Our next chances for snow will be on December 7 and December 11.

Update

Our weather this week is simply 'more of the same' with warm daytime highs in the 40s and overnight lows that are marginal for snowmaking. 

Below, the summit snow stake is not seeing any action (and seems to have disappeared...I hope that it's ok!).

On Sunday, there will be a change in the forecast. Temperatures will be cooler with highs in the 20s and 30s, and lows will dip well below freezing, which should help mountain operations make more snow. We could also see a few snowflakes fall from the sky if we're lucky.

Looking to next week, Tuesday is when we'll have a chance for natural snow. The energy from the incoming storm may not track directly over Colorado, but the system will bring a lot of moisture, and this combination of decent energy and a lot of moisture should result in at least decent snow totals with 6+ inches not out of the question.

After that system, we will dry out for a few days later next week, and then another (possibly significant) storm could arrive around Saturday, December 11.

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