Sunday
On Saturday night, a weak storm dropped a few flakes on the highest elevations, and there are still a few flakes in the air now on Sunday morning.
Sunday will be a mixed day with partly cloudy skies and mostly dry weather. The temperature will be colder with a high in the mid-20s, and winds will be gusty.
Monday
Monday will be mostly sunny and warmer with a high in the low-30s.
Tuesday
On Tuesday during the day, another weak storm will brush by northern Colorado, and Telluride is unlikely to see any snow from this system. The high temperature will again be in the low 30s.
Wednesday, December 18 - Monday, December 23
For the six days from Wednesday to the following Monday, we'll likely see dry weather with high temperatures in the mid-30s.
December 24 and beyond…
Starting on or around December 24, the weather pattern should become more favorable for storms to track near or over Colorado. It's still too soon to figure out the details, but at least the odds are increasing for snow at the end of the month. And the longer-range forecasts for early January continue to show a higher chance for colder and stormier weather.
For now, we have a solid base thanks to snowfall in late November, and the low sun angle of December will continue to preserve our snowpack, so we're in an okay spot to make it through the next nine-ish days before (hopefully) more significant snow arrives.
