Telluride Daily Snow

Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest Telluride Daily Snow

By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 8 months ago January 7, 2024

Storms for a week

Summary

On Saturday we enjoyed morning freshies, and there is more snow Sunday and Monday.

Update

Saturday started with 1-2 inches of fluffy snow on top of the snow from Thursday and Friday.

Sunday is another storm day. While the track of the system is likely too far to the south to deliver deep accumulations, we should see at least 2-4 inches during the day, and there could be another 2-4 inches on Sunday night. The high temperature will be in the teens.

 

Monday will be a mixed day with some breaks of sunshine, some clouds, and lingering snow showers behind the storm. The high temperature will be in the single digits.

Tuesday should be a break between storms with mostly sunny skies, and the latest forecast models show that snow could return sooner than I earlier expected and we might see a few flakes later in the day. The high temperature will be in the teens.

Wednesday will likely have 1-3 inches of powder from snow that falls throughout the day, and another 2-4 inches could accumulate on Wednesday night. The high temperature will be in the single digits.

Thursday and Friday will bring additional chances for snow, but I have low confidence in the details, so we'll wait at least another day before figuring this out. Temperatures will remain cold with a high in the single digits.

Saturday, January 13 to Tuesday, January 16 should bring additional chances for snow, but again, I have low confidence in the details, so we'll hold off on figuring this out for at least another day or two. This is the MLK holiday weekend, and snow conditions should be good, and also keep in mind that driving could be difficult at times due to snow and holiday crowds.

Thanks for reading!
