Saturday will be another warm and sunny day with mid-mountain high temperatures in the mid to upper 40s. We’ll see more clouds and wind by afternoon, then expect snow to fall on Saturday night with 1-3 inches of accumulation. Snow showers will continue during the day on Sunday, and with a wind from the west (which is good for Steamboat), I think we’ll see 2-4 additional inches during the day. Some of the snow on Saturday night and Sunday will come in the form of hit-or-miss cells of intense precipitation, so if we’re lucky and one of these cells hits Steamboat, we could receive more snow than this forecast.

Following the fresh snow on Sunday, the storm will clear out on Sunday night. Monday the 10th through Sunday the 16th (closing day) should offer perfect spring skiing with mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures in the 40s and 50s on the hill.
