Steamboat Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 1 year ago April 9, 2023
Warm through Tuesday, then snow on Friday
Summary
Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday will be warm and mostly sunny. Then we'll transition toward stormy weather with snow on Friday and Saturday.
Update
Saturday was a mixed day with temperatures in the 30s and 40s, mostly cloudy skies, and a few showers.
Now on Sunday morning, the showers are gone but some clouds are sticking around. These clouds will slow our warming during the first few hours of the day.
On Sunday afternoon, the clouds will move away leaving sunny skies and helping us to reach a high temperature in the upper 30s to mid-40s.
Monday and Tuesday will be perfect spring days with mostly sunny skies and dry weather. The high temperature will be in the 40s and 50s. Yes, it'll feel hot. And glorious. Enjoy the spring weather!
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.
The next storm should bring snow on Friday and Saturday (April 14-15) and my initial estimate is 4-8 inches of new snow with some powder possible on both Friday and Saturday. Then it's likely that we'll trend back toward drier weather on Sunday (April 16) and into early the following week.
Thanks for reading!
