Saturday

Saturday was warm with some sun, some clouds, and a few showers here and there.

On Saturday night, the first wave of storm energy tracked across Colorado, and we eked out a dusting of snow at mid-mountain and about 1 inch at the summit.

Sunday

Sunday will be mixed with times of dry weather and some snow showers. The wind direction is not favorable for snow, but there will be enough storm energy and moisture to create snow showers. The snow accumulation could be a few inches, and the high temperature will be in the 20s.

Sunday Night

On Sunday night, the storm will strengthen to our east and we should see multiple favorable factors including cooling temperatures, adequate moisture, and somewhat strong storm energy. The wind direction will briefly blow from a favorable west-northwest direction, and all of this could produce 3-6 inches of snow on Sunday night.

Monday

Monday will offer some powder in the morning, with a mix of dry weather and snow showers during the rest of the day. The high temperature will be cool, in the upper teens to low 20s.

Tuesday & Wednesday

On Tuesday, Tuesday night, and Wednesday, we should see a mix of dry weather and snow showers with a few inches of accumulation possible each day and night. There could be somewhat softer snow to enjoy on Wednesday following 24-36 hours of snow showers. High temperatures will be in the 20s on both Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

For the last few days, it appeared that a storm would bring snow on Thursday and Friday, but the latest forecasts are trending toward the storm being weaker and potentially missing us altogether. For now, I think that Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will be mostly dry, partly sunny, and warmer with a high temperature in the 30s.

Longer Range

Our next chances for storms will be Sunday night, March 31, to Tuesday, April 2, and then from about Friday, April 5, to Sunday, April 7.

My next update will be Monday morning.
