Steamboat Daily Snow

By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 3 years ago March 12, 2022
Cloudier Saturday, Sunnier Sunday
Summary
We'll see clouds hang around on Saturday, then Sunday will start dry and sunny with snow arriving late in the day.
Update
Friday turned out to be a pretty cloudy day as moisture lingered over northern Colorado.
Now on Saturday morning, the clouds are still hanging around and temperatures are in the teens.
For the rest of Saturday, expect mostly cloudy skies with maybe more breaks of sunshine later in the day. Temperatures should be in the teens to mid-20s.
Sunday will start clear and sunny with temperatures rising into the upper 20s to low 30s by the middle of the day. Then on Sunday afternoon, we'll see more clouds, and then snow will fall between late Sunday afternoon and early Monday morning. The most recent high-resolution model data continues to point to 4-7 inches of new snow by Monday, which will mean that we should start the week with soft turns on Monday morning.
Once the snow ends on Monday morning, the rest of Monday will be dry, and all day Tuesday will be dry as well.
Our next storm will bring some snow on Wednesday into Wednesday night, though amounts look pretty light. And after that, our next chance for snow will be around Monday, March 21, and that storm could be stronger with potential powder on or around the 21st.
Thanks for reading and please check back each morning for daily updates!
