Steamboat Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 1 year ago April 7, 2023
Sun, showers, and snow
Summary
We will see all types of weather during the next week with a few cloudy days, a few sunny and very warm days, and a snowstorm late next week.
Update
Thursday was an absolutely glorious day with a perfectly blue sky and a high temperature in the upper 20s to low 30s.
Friday will be another gorgeous day with mostly sunny skies and a high temperature in the 30s. We might see a few more clouds and a brief shower later in the afternoon.
Saturday will bring a change with mostly cloudy skies, some rain and snow showers, and perhaps some snow accumulation at the upper elevation. The high temperature should be in the 30s.
Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday will flip back to perfect spring days with mostly sunny skies and dry weather. The high temperatures on Sunday will be in the 30s, then Monday and Tuesday will bring even warmer weather with a high in the 40s and even low 50s.
Wednesday and Thursday will be transition days with more clouds and gusty winds. High temperatures will stay warm with readings in the 40s and 50s. We could see dust blow from the southwest into Colorado during these days as well.
Friday and Saturday (April 14-15) will deliver a storm to Colorado. It is too soon to know the exact timing or snow amounts from this storm, though we should see at least some flakes, and there might even be powder on Saturday morning.
Thanks for reading!
