Steamboat Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 10 months ago March 16, 2024
Sunny & warm with some wind
Summary
This weekend and most of next week will be mostly dry, mostly sunny, and warm. Then we'll have a high chance for multiple storms during the final 10 days of March.
Update
Friday
Friday was mostly sunny and warm with a high temperature in the 30s. The gusty wind from the east calmed down during Friday afternoon and Friday evening.
Saturday & Sunday
Both days this weekend will be dry and mostly sunny with a high temperature in the 30s.
Unfortunately, the gusty wind from the east will return on both days this weekend, so there may sometimes be lift/gondola closures.
Monday to Friday
From Monday to Friday, I expect mostly dry weather and mostly sunny skies with high temperatures in the 30s. We may see more clouds and snow showers later in the week, though the latest forecast models show that any significant snowfall should hold off until the weekend.
Longer Range
From Saturday, March 23 through the end of March, multiple storms will track from the Pacific Ocean through Colorado, so chances are high that there will be multiple days with fresh snow, and perhaps a couple of true powder days. The first stronger storm may arrive from Saturday, March 23 to Sunday, March 24, and I'll fill in the details during the next few days.
My next update will be Sunday morning.
Thanks for reading!
