Telluride Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 9 months ago February 21, 2024
Maybe some new snow by Thursday?
Summary
Our highest chance for snow will be on Wednesday night into Thursday morning, and there could be enough new snow to make snow conditions on Thursday a little softer.
Update
Tuesday
Tuesday was a mixed day with cloudy and mostly dry weather and also a few snow showers roaming around.
Wednesday
The weather on Wednesday will be dry as an area of steady snow stays well to our north and west, and the high temperature will be in the 20s. Also, as I write this in the morning, summit winds are gusting 40-50 mph.
From late Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday night, the storm will finally track over Colorado, and we may see steadier snow.
Thursday
I think that Thursday morning will be the best chance for new snow this week with the potential for 1-3 inches of accumulation. This storm has a lot of moisture, which means that there is some upside potential to the snow forecast. For Thursday's weather, snow showers may stick around, and the high temperature will be near 20°F.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (February 23-25) will be dry. Friday will be sunny with a high temperature of around 30°F, Saturday will be sunny with a high temperature of around 30°F, and Sunday will bring more clouds with a high temperature of around 30°F.
The Next Storm
I remain confident that a strong storm will move through Colorado between Monday, February 26, and Wednesday, February 28. I think Monday will bring just a few snow showers, Tuesday will bring intense snow and gusty winds which could impact lift operations, and with snow continuing on Tuesday night, Wednesday morning might offer the most enjoyable powder. My early estimate for total snowfall is 8-18 inches, and we will continue to fine-tune the forecast each day.
My next update will be Thursday morning.
Thanks for reading!
