Good Friday morning!

Friday's weather should be mostly dry, though I can't rule out a few snow showers as a weak storm moves just to the north of Colorado.

On Saturday, expect dry, sunny, and slightly warmer weather (compared to Friday) with highs in the upper 30s to mid-40s.

On Sunday, we will see a few midday and afternoon snow showers, and then a cold front will bring a period of intense snow on Sunday night through Monday morning. If you want to ski powder, Monday is your day as there should be 3-6 inches of fresh snow in the morning and perhaps a bit more than this if the storm moves through on just the right track. Temperatures on Monday will feel like winter with highs in the teens, so dress warmly!

The rest of next week should be dry and cold with temperatures that are conducive for 24/7 snowmaking. After that, while the weather pattern will keep most of the cold and stormy weather over the eastern US, we may see a storm sneak into Colorado sometime between December 12-16.

Stay tuned for daily updates, and thanks for reading!
