Thursday wound up being mostly cloudy and dry.

Thursday night is when the storm moved closer and we managed to eke out 1-2 inches of snow across the mountain.

Now on Friday, the first part of the storm will move through with at least 2-4 inches of snow accumulation in the morning and midday (I already see 2 inches on the mid-mountain snow stake cam as of 7:30 a.m. and this fell after the 5:00 a.m. snow report). The second part of the storm will be during Friday afternoon and Friday night as the storm strengthens over eastern Colorado and potentially creates a period of intense snowfall. And the third part of the storm will be closer to Saturday morning when snow showers could hang around through mid-morning.

Saturday could start off with powder if we get lucky and see the more intense precipitation later on Friday and through Friday night. Saturday's weather will feel more like winter than spring with a high temperature in the 20s and mostly cloudy skies through mid-afternoon.

Sunday and Monday will flip back to spring weather with sunny skies, a high in the 30s on Sunday, and a high in the 40s on Monday.

Looking ahead to the rest of next week, our melt-out will likely slow or even reverse as we could see multiple days of snow and cooler temperatures from Tuesday night through about Friday, April 21.
