Friday was dry, mostly sunny, and warm with a high temperature in the 20s to low 30s.

Saturday

The dry weather will persist through Saturday with partly to mostly cloudy skies and warm-ish temperatures with a high in the 20s. Morning readings could be colder at the base and warmer up on the hill (called a temperature inversion).

Saturday Night to Tuesday

Waves of moisture and storm energy will move into the Colorado from the southwest, and any of these waves could deliver a coating to a few inches of snow accumulation. While we could see some snowflakes as early as Saturday night, the best chances for accumulating snow will likely be on Sunday night and again on Monday night. If we see at least a few inches of snow, then snow conditions could be sneaky soft on Monday and/or Tuesday. Skies will be mostly cloudy and the high temperature each day will be in the 20s.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

While I can't rule out some snow showers, I think the weather will be mostly dry during these three days. Skies will likely be partly to mostly cloudy, and the high temperature on each day will again be in the 20s.

Thursday Night to Saturday (January 25-27)

Another round of snow showers should track through Colorado from the northwest, and again, each round of snow showers could drop anything from a coating to a few inches of snow. Temperatures will cool a bit with highs in the upper teens to low 20s.

The Longer Range Outlook

I think that Sunday, January 28 to Wednesday, January 31 will be mostly sunny, dry, and warmer with high temperatures in the upper 20s to mid-30s. Then at some point during the first seven days of February, we should transition to a stormier weather pattern across the Rockies, so I'll be watching this time for (hopefully) more snow.

Thanks for reading!
