Telluride Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 10 months ago December 29, 2023
Waiting and hoping
Summary
Enjoy the sunshine for now, and there are some signs of hope for snow during the next two weeks.
Update
Thursday was a sunny and gorgeous day with a high temperature in the 20s, and we'll see the same weather today on Friday.
Coming up, while most of the next 10 days will be dry with a lot of sunshine and a high temperature in the 20s, we will see a few chances for snow.
- Sunday, December 31 to Monday, January 1 - a few flakes?
- Wednesday, January 3 - a few flakes?
- Friday, January 5 - a few flakes to maybe light accumulations
- Monday, January 8 to Wednesday, January 10 - colder with significant snow possible
Unless we get lucky during the next week and a storm brings more snow than expected, we'll make do with the snow that we have and be thankful that cool temperatures and a low sun angle will keep the snow in decent shape.
The period starting around and after Monday, January 8 will be the one to watch for a potentially significant snowstorm, and we'll dial in the details of this potential storm as the time gets closer.
Thanks for reading!
