Tuesday

Tuesday will be another powder day!

From Monday morning to Tuesday morning, 7 inches accumulated at mid-mountain and 9 inches accumulated at the summit, and about 2-5 of these inches fell on Monday night and will be untracked on Tuesday morning.

Tuesday's weather will be mixed with times of snow showers bringing a few inches of accumulation, times of drier weather, and temperatures will be in the upper teens to low 20s.

Tuesday Night

On Tuesday night, the storm will move away, though there could be lingering snow showers that produce a little snow accumulation.

Wednesday

On Wednesday, conditions should be soft due to the snow on the previous days, and if there is some new snow on Tuesday night, that'll be a fluffy bonus on top. Otherwise, Wednesday should be dry with a high temperature in the low-to-mid 20s.

Thursday & Friday

On Thursday and Friday, the next storm will bring snow to snow to Colorado, but this one will be weak and disorganized.

I still have low confidence in the forecast and my best estimate for snow is now in the 2-5 inch range from Wednesday night to Friday afternoon. This is a little lower than my previous estimate due to the system's disorganization.

Maybe there will be a little powder on either Thursday or Friday, and temperatures on both days will be in the 20s.

Longer Range

From Saturday, February 22 to Sunday, March 2, there should be dry weather with high temperatures in the 30s.

During this time, there will only be a lower chance that storms tracking to the north will drop far enough south to bring light snow and cooler temperatures.

Further ahead, the next higher chance for snow will be around and after March 3.
