Saturday

Saturday was gorgeous with blue skies and temperatures that rose to the upper 20s.

Sunday

Sunday will also be dry and mostly sunny, and the high temperature will be a little warmer than Saturday, rising to the low 30s.

Monday

Monday will be dry but cloudier as moisture arrives ahead of the midweek storm. Monday's high temperature should be in the low 30s.

Tuesday

From Monday night to Tuesday morning, a weak storm could generate a few showers with just light accumulations of perhaps a dusting to 2 inches. Then the rest of Tuesday should be dry and partly cloudy with a high temperature in the mid-30s.

Tuesday Night & Wednesday 

From Tuesday night through Wednesday, a strong storm should generate 3-6 inches of snow with the best powder on Wednesday morning and midday.

Wednesday night to Friday

Starting later in the day on Wednesday, the storm will track to the southwest, and the wind direction will blow from the southeast and east. This wind direction is not favorable for Telluride, but the close proximity of the storm could cancel out the poor wind direction, so I expect additional snow from Wednesday evening through Friday with the potential for 5-10+ inches of accumulation.

Longer Range

After this week's storm, odds favor dry and warm weather from about Saturday, March 16 to about Thursday, March 21. Following this period of dry weather, snow should return to Colorado sometime during the final ten days of March, starting as early as Friday, March 22.

My next update will be Monday morning.
