Thursday was a mixed day with a few flakes and some breaks of sunshine. Most of the snow across Colorado fell in the far southern part of the state.

On Thursday night, a few snow showers made it farther north into Colorado and we saw 1 inch of accumulation at mid-mountain.

Now on Friday morning, the final piece of energy from this week's southern storm system will track across Colorado and we should see snow showers with perhaps a little bit of snow accumulation through Friday midday. After that, Friday afternoon and Friday night should be dry.

On Saturday, I expect dry weather, partly sunny skies, and a comfortable high temperature of about 30°F.

Then on Sunday, the first half of the day should be dry, then the next storm will bring snow from Sunday afternoon through Monday morning. We might see a little snow accumulation by the end of the day on Sunday, and the most snow could fall on Sunday night into Monday morning with 5-10 inches of accumulation. Keep your eye on Monday morning for a chance of softer turns thanks to this new snow.

Looking at the rest of next week, the main story is that 'it will snow' though I still have low confidence in the details. I will keep a close watch on the forecast during the middle of next week (roughly February 28 - March 2) as this could be a time that we'll see more powder.

Thanks for reading!
