Steamboat Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 1 year ago February 26, 2023
Snow begins today, more during the week
Summary
Sunday morning will be dry, then the first storm of the week will bring snow from Sunday midday through Monday morning, and there will be three additional storms during the rest of the week.
Update
Saturday was dry with some clouds, some sunshine, and a comfortable high temperature of around 30°F. No snow fell on either Saturday or Saturday night as we see by the dry snow stake.
Now on Sunday morning, we will start the day with dry weather and partly to mostly sunny skies. Then the first storm of the week will bring snow from Sunday midday or early afternoon through Sunday night and into Monday morning. There could be a little bit of fresh snow by Sunday's last chair, and then there will be more fresh snow by Monday morning with a storm total of 5-10 inches.
On Monday afternoon and Monday evening, the snow should become light or stop.
Then from Monday night through Tuesday evening, the second storm of the week will bring snow with 4-8+ inches, and conditions likely becoming softer throughout the day on Tuesday.
After that, from Wednesday through Thursday morning, the third storm of the week could bring some snow, but the storm might track too far to the south to deliver significant snow.
And after that, on Friday, the fourth storm of the week will move through quickly and likely drop a few inches of accumulation during the day on Friday.
Looking further ahead, Saturday, March 4 should be dry, then snow will be possible after that, sometime between March 5-12, and I'll keep you updated on the details of this potential storm cycle when the time gets closer.
Thanks for reading!
