Monday

Monday morning offered cold powder, and an additional 2 inches of snow fell during the day. Then on Monday night, another 1-2 inches accumulated.

 

Tuesday & Wednesday

Tuesday morning's conditions should continue to be soft due to the snow from Monday night as well as the snow falling as I write this at 730 am. On Tuesday, Tuesday night, and Wednesday morning, we'll see snow showers with a possible 2-6+ inches of accumulation. These "snow shower" situations can produce sneaky fun conditions. Temperatures on Tuesday will top out around 20°F and temperatures on Wednesday will climb into the low-to-mid 20s.

Thursday

Thursday should be mostly dry and partly sunny with a warmer daytime high reaching about 30°F.

Thursday Night to Saturday

From Thursday night to Saturday midday, the next storm will bring precipitation to northern and central Colorado. The upper and mid-mountain could see 3-8 inches of snow during this time with the potential for thicker/denser powder on Friday and/or Saturday. The lower mountain could see mixed precipitation with times of snow and times of rain. The high temperatures on Friday and Saturday should be in the low 30s.

Longer Range

From Sunday to Monday (March 31 to April 1), the next storm could bring snow, though the track of this system is not favorable for significant accumulations. After the storm, most of next week should be dry and feel like spring with high temperatures in the 30s. Then the next chance for a storm, or multiple storms, will be between Friday, April 5, and Monday, April 8.

My next update will be Wednesday morning.
