Steamboat Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 1 year ago March 28, 2023
Cold start, warm finish
Summary
Tuesday and Wednesday will feel like springtime with mostly sunny skies and warmer temperatures. Then the next storm will bring snow from later Thursday through Friday.
Update
Monday was a cold day with a high temperature in the single digits and teens, and we also saw a few snow showers.
Now on Tuesday, the day is starting with no fresh snow and cold temperatures that are in the single digits.
However, with clear skies and the high sun angle of late March, temperatures will rapidly warm into the upper-20s to mid-30s on Tuesday, and we'll see similarly warm and comfortable temperatures on Wednesday. Both days will be mostly sunny with classic spring skiing conditions.
Then Thursday and Friday will deliver another storm with snow starting on Thursday midday or afternoon, falling steadily on Thursday night, and then becoming showery on Friday. We should see 3-6 inches or more by Friday's first chair and there could be another 3-6 inches on Friday during the day along with the potential for an upside surprise due to a favorable wind direction from the west or west-northwest.
While Friday will be the best powder day, snow showers could hang around on Friday evening, so there might be some fresh fluff to enjoy on Saturday morning as well.
Saturday and Sunday will be dry with temperatures that warm up to around 30°F.
Then the next storm could bring snow any time from later Sunday to Wednesday, April 5 with the best chance for powder around Tuesday, April 4.
