Telluride Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 8 months ago March 3, 2024
Snowy and windy on Sunday
Summary
The storm arrived on Saturday night with 3+ inches falling by Sunday at 4 am. We'll see additional snow on Sunday, Sunday night, and maybe into Monday morning as well, and winds will be gusty.
Update
Saturday Night
On Saturday night, the storm arrived and delivered intense snow after midnight. As of 4 am, the mid-mountain snow sensor shows 3 inches and it's still snowing.
Sunday
Sunday morning will have new snow from Saturday night and also VERY strong winds with summit wind gusts of 70-80+ mph. During the morning, snow could continue for a few more hours, then the snow could wane as the cold front moves back to the north. I'll estimate another 2-4 inches of snow during the first half of the day. The high temperature will be in the teens.
Sunday Night
On Sunday night, snow showers could continue as the storm wobbles around the Rockies and we may see another 1-3 inches.
Monday & Tuesday & Wednesday
On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, unorganized storm energy will cross Colorado from west to east and though we may be a little too far to the south to see much snow from this energy, and I'll estimate a dusting to 3 inches as the snow total from Monday to Wednesday. The high temperature will be in the 20's.
Thursday & Friday
On Thursday and Friday, a more organized storm will move across Colorado, and its more southern track could generate decent snowfall for us with 4-8+ inches and possible powder on Thursday and/or Friday. The high temperatures on these days will be in the low 20s.
Saturday & Sunday (March 9-10)
I think that Saturday and Sunday will be dry with high temperatures in the 20s to low 30s.
Next Week (March 11-15)
Additional waves of storm energy should track close to or over Colorado, so we should see more snow. Again, though, I have low confidence in the details, so we'll figure it out as the time gets closer.
My next update will be Monday morning.
Thanks for reading!
