Steamboat Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 9 months ago February 12, 2024
A mixed week with the best chance of snow from Thursday Night to Friday
Summary
Sunday was sunny, and for the week ahead, we'll see some sun, some clouds, and a few chances for snow.
Update
Sunday
Sunday turned out sunny and gorgeous with a high temperature in the upper teens to low 20s.
Monday
Monday will likely be a mixed day with some clouds, a few snowflakes, and some sunshine. The high temperature should once again be in the 20s.
Tuesday & Wednesday
I think Tuesday will be dry and partly sunny. There might be a period of snow on Wednesday or Wednesday night, but my confidence about the snow is low. High temperatures will continue to be in the 20s.
Thursday & Friday
I think Thursday will be dry and partly sunny, then from Thursday night to Friday night, there is a high chance for snow as a storm to the north sags south into Colorado. The timing of this storm may mean we'll end the week with some powder on Friday.
Saturday
We should be between storms and will likely see dry and partly sunny weather with a high temperature in the 20s.
Sunday, February 18 - Sunday, February 25
I still have low confidence in the forecast for February 18-25. There will be multiple storms moving through the Rockies, but there is no consensus among the forecast models about the timing or track of these systems. We could see anything from a few snowflakes and light accumulations, to two or more storms with significant snowfall, or something in between. I hope that we'll figure out more details about the longer-range forecast at some point over the next few days.
My next update will be Tuesday morning.
Thanks for reading!
