Telluride Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 10 months ago January 6, 2024
Some new snow on Saturday morning
Summary
We'll enjoy soft conditions on Saturday thanks to the 6"+ of new snow that we've seen in the past 36 hours.
Update
On Friday we saw mostly dry weather, and then another 3 inches of snow fell late on Friday night and into early on Saturday morning.
It's snowing as I write this at 6 am on Saturday morning, and we could see more snow through late morning, which will further soften conditions.
After Saturday morning's snow, we'll see dry weather through Saturday evening, and then the next storm will bring snow from Saturday night through Monday morning with 2-6 inches of accumulation. We could see higher snow amounts if we're lucky, though the storm is tracking to the south of Colorado and this often isn't the best recipe for deeper snow totals. Watch out for some powder on both Sunday and on Monday morning.
Tuesday will likely be dry, and then on Wednesday and Thursday, another storm should bring snow with potential powder on both days.
From Friday, January 12 to Monday, January 15, we should see more snow, but uncertainty in the forecast is high based on the track of very cold that will move close to or over Colorado. Ideally, we want this very cold air to stay away as it will limit moisture and the potential for snow.
Temperatures for the next 7-10 days should mostly be in the single digits and teens, as long as the very cold air doesn't move into Colorado.
