Sunday

Sunday was mostly sunny with a high temperature in the 30s.

Monday

Monday will be dry but cloudier as moisture arrives ahead of the midweek storm. Monday's high temperature should be in the mid-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 this could put the storm closer to Telluride later in the week. While the forecast is still uncertain, I am watching both Thursday and Friday as potential powder days with 5-10 inches of snow.

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 Tuesday morning.
