Steamboat Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 1 year ago April 8, 2023
Showers Saturday, then very warm for 4-5 days
Summary
Saturday will bring more clouds and a few showers, then we'll head into full-on spring skiing mode with sunshine and very warm temperatures early next week.
Update
Friday was another beautiful day with a mostly sunny sky and a high temperature in the 30s and 40s.
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 and 40s, 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.
Between Friday and Sunday (April 14-16) we will see a storm track close to or over Colorado. Most forecast models are trending toward a lot of snow falling to the south and east of Steamboat, so this may not be a significant storm for us, but it will take at least a few more days to narrow down the forecast, so there is still a chance that we will wind up getting some powder next weekend.
Thanks for reading!
