Snow on Wednesday
Summary
A storm crossing Colorado on Wednesday will bring snow for most of the day and maybe into the evening.
Update
Lately, the atmosphere just wants to snow. On Tuesday, we started the day with about 6 inches of new snow and added about 3-4 inches during the morning. On Tuesday afternoon, the snow stopped, then on Tuesday night, the next storm dropped 2-3 inches of additional snow.
Now on Wednesday morning, the snow is ongoing and we've already seen 2-3 inches accumulate between about 5:00 a.m. and about 6:30 a.m. We should add another 3-6+ inches during the day on Wednesday and it'll be a fun day with snow getting softer and deeper through the day.
On Wednesday evening, snowfall should wane, but we could still grab a couple of fluffy inches during the evening which would lead to additional soft turns and powder on Thursday morning.
After the storm moves away on Wednesday night, we will see dry weather on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Thursday will be sunny with a high temperature in the 20s, Friday will be sunny with a high temperature in the 30s, and Saturday could have high clouds filtering the sunshine with a high temperature in the 30s.
Then we will head back into a stormy period with three storms next week. The first storm could be Sunday into Monday, the second storm could be Tuesday into Wednesday, and the third storm could be Thursday into Friday.
