Telluride Daily Snow

Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest Telluride Daily Snow

By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 8 months ago April 2, 2024

Dry and sunny this week, stormy this weekend

Summary

Tuesday through Friday will be dry, sunny, and warm, and then a strong storm will bring snow and wind during the weekend.

Update

Monday

On Monday and Monday night, we expected snow showers to pop up, and we did see snow with 2-3 inches accumulating on Monday night.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

Tuesday morning's conditions should be delightful with soft/new snow and clearing skies.

The rest of the week will be dry, mostly sunny, and warm.

The high temperature on Tuesday will be in the 30s with morning clouds transitioning to sunshine, then we'll reach the 40s on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The wrinkle in the weather on Friday will be the chance for gusty winds during the midday and afternoon.

Snow conditions this week will be typical of springtime with a crunchy surface in the morning, soft/corn during the late morning and midday, and then some slush during the afternoon.

Weekend Storm

A strong storm will deliver intense snow on Saturday morning, and we should continue to see snow showers from Saturday afternoon through Saturday evening. Total snowfall could be 6-12+ inches with possible powder on Saturday morning and soft conditions extending through Sunday. Strong winds could impact the snow quality and lift operations, especially on Saturday morning, and that will be something we'll keep an eye on and talk more about when the storm is closer.

Longer Range

Closing day is Sunday, April 7, and the weather should cooperate with soft snow following Saturday's storm, and partly sunny skies with a high temperature in the 20s.

My next update will be Wednesday morning.

Thanks for reading!
