Steamboat Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 1 year ago January 21, 2023
Cold with a side of snow
Summary
While I don't see any significant storms in the near future, conditions will be excellent thanks to a deep base, recent snowfall, and cold temperatures.
Update
Friday was dry with some sunshine, and then on Friday night, we received a dusting-to-an-inch of new snow thanks to a storm that tracked to the south of Colorado.
On Saturday we could see a mix of sunshine and some snow showers.
Then from later Sunday through Monday, the next storm should bring just light snow with maybe a dusting to a few inches of accumulation.
During the upcoming week, the theme will be "chilly" with a high temperature in the single digits and teens each day. Also, it's possible that a series of storms could bring (at least) light snow starting around Wednesday, January 25, however, I have low confidence in this part of the forecast.
Looking out toward the end of January, the atmosphere may reorganize and bring back a stormier weather pattern over the Rockies, but this is just educated speculation at this point and hopefully, we'll be able to pin down this forecast in another couple of days.
Thanks for reading!
