Watching four upcoming storms
Summary
We'll see dry weather from Tuesday to Thursday, then four storms will bring snow from Thursday night, January 4 to Thursday, January 11.
Update
Monday was dry and partly cloudy with a high temperature in the upper 20s to low 30s.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be sunnier with mostly clear skies and high temperatures in the 20s. In the webcam image below from just before sunrise on Tuesday morning, we can see stars and clear skies.
Thursday will be a transition day with more clouds yet likely dry weather and a high temperature in the 20s.
From Thursday night to Friday afternoon, a storm will track to the south of Colorado and we'll likely see a few flakes and maybe light accumulations. Friday's temperature will be colder with a high in the teens.
From Friday night to Saturday, the next storm will track over Colorado and we have a decent chance of seeing a few inches of snow accumulation. The high temperature on Saturday will again be in the teens.
Sunday will start with dry weather, then we should see some snow later in the day. Temperatures again will be in the teens.
From Sunday night to Monday, a storm will again track to the south of Colorado and we'll be left with low-ish amounts of snow, likely in the low single digits. Monday's temperatures will be cold with a high in the single digits.
Tuesday and Wednesday will likely be drier and colder days with a high temperature in the single digits and teens.
Then from later Wednesday to Thursday, a storm is possible and this one could track more directly over Colorado. If this happens, we'll have a higher chance of significant snow accumulation.
