Tuesday was a spring-like day with sunny skies and high temperatures that ranged from the upper 30s to the upper 40s.

Now, Wednesday morning is dawning with clear skies, and we'll see another sunny day with warm temperatures again ranging from the upper 30s to the upper 40s.

Thursday will also be warm with highs generally in the 40s, but high-level clouds will filter/dull the sunshine during the day.

Friday will be a mixed day with some dry weather and some showers, especially during the afternoon. These showers might fall as raindrops, especially if the precipitation intensity is light.

On Friday night into Saturday morning, the first round of more significant snow will move across Colorado. This snow will come in showery bursts, like summertime thunderstorms, and there could be some lightning as well. If we get lucky and some of these bursts hit the mountain, we could wind up with 3-6 inches of new snow by Saturday morning, and if we don't get lucky, we'll see lower amounts.

From Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning, there could be a lull in the snowfall.

Then from Sunday mid-morning through Monday morning, another storm could bring times of steadier snow with another 3-8 inches. There is some upside potential during this time due to a favorable wind from the west and west-northwest. My pick for best powder could be Sunday afternoon and/or Monday morning.

We will likely trend toward drier weather next Tuesday and Wednesday, then another storm should bring snow around Thursday, March 10, with yet another storm possible around Sunday, March 13.
