Steamboat Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 1 year ago April 6, 2023
Springtime is here (for one week)
Summary
Following the snow showers on Wednesday and Wednesday night, we will enter a one-week period of dry, mostly sunny, and warm weather.
Update
From Wednesday midday to Wednesday night, the final round of snow showers delivered periods of snow to the mountain. These showers were generated by the final wave of storm energy which moved from west to east across Colorado. It was a chilly time with temperatures in the single digits and teens.
From Thursday, April 6 to Thursday, April 13, we will see an extended time of spring weather. These eight days should be dry, mostly sunny, and warm with high temperatures in the 20s on Thursday, in the 30s on Friday and Saturday, and then in the 40s and 50s from Sunday to Thursday, April 13. The warmest days will likely be Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and the cloudiest day could be Saturday, April 8.
On or around Friday, April 14, we should see a storm in Colorado with likely colder temperatures and snow. Winter isn't over just yet:-)
