Telluride Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 10 months ago January 13, 2024
Wind on Saturday, powder on Sunday and Monday
Summary
The main story from Friday through Saturday is the wind, and the good news is that the main story on Sunday and Monday will be the snow.
Update
Friday was cold and windy with summit temperatures in the single digits and wind gusts of 40+mph.
Saturday
We'll see some snowflakes and a lot of wind. Temperatures will be rising through the single digits and maybe into the low teens, and winds will continue to gust to 35-60mph.
Saturday Night to Monday Afternoon
This part of the storm will bring intense snow and slower winds. We should see 10-20 inches of snow with snow starting on Saturday night, powder for first chair on Sunday, snow throughout the day on Sunday, and potentially more snow on Sunday night. Both Sunday and Monday should offer fun, soft conditions.
Tuesday
We'll see dry and cold weather with some sunshine on Tuesday. There will be soft powder leftovers, and the temperature will start in the single digits and warm into the teens.
Wednesday to Friday
The next storm could track to the north of us. The track of the storm 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!
