Sunday

Go skiing NOW!

About 17 inches of snow fell at the summit on Saturday night. This was a true Steamboat Surprise. While I know the conditions that make this Surprise possible, it's nearly impossible to predict. And it happened again. Get out there early. Bright a snorkel. It's going to be fun. Dress warmly as the temperature is close to 0°F at the summit. There could be snow showers during the day, but most accumulating snow is likely over. But that doesn't matter. Getting out there early matters. Go do it. Enjoy!

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.

Wednesday

Wednesday will be sunny and warmer with a high temperature around 20°F.

Thursday

Thursday will be sunny and the warmest day of the week with a high temperature of around 25°F.

Longer Range

Between Friday night, January 17, and Sunday, January 19, a storm will bring cold air to Colorado. The temperature during the weekend will likely stay in the single digits, and if the storm tracks far enough to the west, there should be some snow as well, though I think accumulations will stay low-to-moderate (2-8 inches).

During the following week (January 20-24+), the temperature should warm up and we'll likely be just on the drier side of the storm track.
