Saturday

On Friday night, the storm arrived and dropped 5 inches at mid-mountain and 6 inches at the summit.

Another 3-6+ inches of snow should fall through Saturday midday, so conditions should become deeper and softer throughout the morning.

By Saturday afternoon, the snowfall should slow down.

The high temperature on Saturday will be around 10-15°F.

Sunday

Sunday will bring a mix of snow showers, clouds, and maybe a bit of sunshine. Any additional snow accumulation should be light. The high temperature will be around 10°F.

Monday

Monday will be partly to mostly cloudy with a high temperature of around 10°F.

Tuesday

Tuesday will be partly to mostly cloudy and warmer with a high temperature of around 15°F.

Longer Range

Between Friday, January 17, and Monday, January 20, a storm will bring cold air to Colorado with a high temperature likely in the single digits. If the storm's track stays to the east, there will be little snow, and if the storm tracks a bit farther to the west, there could be more snow. We'll see how it shakes out. Stay tuned.
