Steamboat Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 1 year ago January 23, 2023
Cold with some snow
Summary
Tuesday through Thursday will be chilly with light snow possible each day.
Update
On Sunday night into Monday morning, a storm tracked to the southwest of Colorado, and Steamboat was too far to the north to see any snowfall.
Monday should be dry with a high temperature of around 20°F.
Then on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, we will have mostly cloudy skies, cold temperatures in the 5-10°F range, and snow showers could deliver a dusting to a few inches of fluffy accumulation each day. The cold temperatures will likely limit the snowfall due to a lack of moisture, but any snow that does fall will be fluffy and this can create more snow than is in the forecast.
Looking further ahead, between about January 28 to February 1, more moisture may move into Colorado, with a chance for more significant snowfall at some point during this five-day period, though it is too soon to have any confidence in the specifics of this outlook.
Then during the following weekend, around February 4-5, another stormy weather pattern could set up over the western US.
Overall, the amount of snow in the forecast for the next 10 days isn't that high, but conditions should remain very good due to cold temperatures and continued chances for light snowfall.
