Monday

Monday was the end of the week-long storm cycle that delivered about 20 inches at mid-mountain. We saw light snow at times on Monday, soft snow, as well as cooling temperatures during the afternoon.

Tuesday

On Tuesday morning, winds are calm, skies are mostly clear, and temperatures are cold, between about 0 and 5°F across the mountain.

On Tuesday, temperatures will warm up to 15-20°F above zero by early afternoon, and it'll be a calmer and warmer day compared to Monday.

Wednesday and Thursday

Expect snow to begin on Wednesday between sunrise and mid-morning, and we could see 2-4+ inches by the end of the day on Wednesday. The last chair on Wednesday could have sneaky fun/soft conditions. Temperatures on Wednesday will be in the upper teens to low 20s.

We could see snowflakes hanging around on Wednesday night with a little bit of additional accumulation, and then Thursday should be dry with soft snow (from the flakes that fell on Wednesday and Wednesday night) and a high temperature in the 20s.

Friday and Saturday

There is a chance that snow lingers on Thursday night into early Friday, yielding soft conditions on Friday morning. Otherwise, both Friday and Saturday should be dry with a high temperature in the upper 20s. Mid-and-high level clouds could filter the sunshine on both days.

Sunday, January 21, and Beyond

Starting on Sunday and maybe continuing through the rest of January, an area of storminess to the southwest of Colorado could deliver rounds of snow showers. I have low confidence in the details of how much snow or when we might see snow, and it could wind up that most of the final 10 days of January will be dry and not snowy. High temperatures should be in the 20s each day.

Thanks for reading!
