Monday

Monday offered cold powder with a foot of snow in the preceding 24 hours and another inch of snow during the day. Then on Monday night, snow showers dropped another 2 inches of snow.

 

Tuesday & Wednesday

Tuesday morning's conditions should continue to be soft due to the cold temperatures and snow on Monday night. On Tuesday, Tuesday night, and Wednesday morning, we'll see snow showers with a possible 2-5+ inches of accumulation. These "snow shower" situations can produce sneaky fun conditions. Temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday will top out in the upper teens to low 20s.

Thursday

Thursday should be mostly dry and partly sunny with a warmer daytime high reaching about 30°F.

Thursday Night to Saturday

From Thursday night to Saturday midday, the next storm will bring precipitation to northern and central Colorado, and with the focus of the storm staying to our north, I think snow accumulations for us will be nothing or very light.  The high temperatures on Friday and Saturday should be in the low 30s.

Longer Range

From Sunday to Monday (March 31 to April 1), the next storm could bring snow, though the track of this system is only moderately favorable for significant accumulations - there is potential, but deep totals are not locked in. After the storm, most of next week should be dry and feel like spring with high temperatures in the 30s. Then the next chance for a storm, or multiple storms, will be between Friday, April 5, and Monday, April 8.

My next update will be Wednesday morning.
