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 4, 2024

Sun for now, snow and wind on the way

Summary

Thursday and Friday will be sunny and warm, then we'll see snow on Saturday with gusty winds at times from Friday through Sunday.

Update

Wednesday

Wednesday was sunny and warm with a high temperature in the upper 30s to low 40s. Spring conditions are here!

Thursday

Thursday will also be sunny and warm with a high temperature in the 40s. During the afternoon, high clouds will filter the sunshine. Snow conditions 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.

Friday

Friday will be the final day of sunny and warm weather, and the high temperature will again rise into the 40s. On Friday midday and afternoon, winds will be gusty at the upper mountain with speeds of 30-50 mph.

Saturday

On Friday night and Saturday morning, bands of intense snow should deliver 4-8 inches of accumulation with possible softer snow by Saturday mid-morning. Since temperatures will drop into the teens and this will make the base crunchy, the best snow conditions should be on lower-angle and/or previously groomed terrain.

From Saturday midday through the afternoon, snow showers may continue, potentially adding up to 1-3 inches of snow.

Saturday Night & Sunday

On Saturday night, snow showers will decrease and eventually stop, and then for closing day on Sunday, April 7, we should see soft snow following Saturday's storm as well as partly sunny skies with a high temperature in the 20s.

My next update will be Friday morning.

Thanks for reading!
