Sunday was a sunny day with comfortable temperatures in the 20s and 30s. It was lovely to enjoy a short break during an otherwise stormy couple of weeks.

On Sunday night, a wave of weak storm energy and some moisture moved over northern Colorado and we picked up a dusting to an inch of snow across the mountain.

On Monday, we could see snow showers in the morning and the evening, but most of the day should be dry with a temperature in the 20s.

On Monday night into Tuesday morning, another round of moisture and weak storm energy could create accumulating snow, though I have little confidence in the details of this and my expectations are low. Still, I will watch the snow stake to see what transpires.

From Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday evening, we will swing back to mostly dry weather.

Then on Tuesday night through Wednesday afternoon, the main storm of the week will move across Colorado. I expect 4-8+ inches of snow with the best powder likely on Wednesday from the morning through mid-afternoon. There will be a low chance that some snow continues on Wednesday night, which would provide a little more powder on Thursday morning.

Following the midweek storm, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be dry with temperatures in the 20s to low 30s. Then a stormy period will begin around Sunday, January 15, and continue through around Saturday, January 21.
