Telluride Daily Snow

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

By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 10 months ago January 12, 2024

Snow continues through the weekend!

Summary

The storm cycle continues. Friday and Saturday will bring mostly wind and cold. Sunday and Monday will bring (a lot) more snow and less wind and cold.

Update

Thursday offered some freshies with 2-3 inches of fluffy new snow.

On Thursday night, we saw a little bit of new snow across the mountain, but the cold temperatures kept the accumulation on the lower side.

Friday and Saturday

We could see a little more snow on Friday and Saturday and accumulations could be 1-3 inches. But the big story will be the cold. Temperatures will be in the single digits and winds could be gusting at 20-40mph. Brrrr.

Saturday Night to Monday Night

This part of the storm will bring intense snow and slower winds. We should see 10-20+ inches of snow with powder getting deeper on Sunday. We might also see some snow hang on later Sunday afternoon into Monday midday, so Monday could offer soft and fun snow conditions with a high temperature in the teens. 

Tuesday

We'll see dry and cold weather with some sunshine on Tuesday. There will be soft powder leftovers, and the high temperature will be in the teens.

Wednesday to Friday

The next storm could track to the north of us. This is still nearly one week away, so things could change, but at this point, I think just light snow and low-end accumulations would be the upper bound of the forecast for next Wednesday to Friday. Temperatures on these days should be in the 20s.

Longer Range

I think we'll head into a drier weather pattern during the final 10 days of January, though there will be a chance for more snow potentially around January 23-24.

Thanks for reading!
