Dry for a week, and then…

Summary

A storm on Tuesday will track to the north and will bring no snow, so we'll stay dry this week and this weekend, with more snow hopefully arriving during Christmas week.

Monday

Monday will be partly sunny and warmer with a high in the mid-30s.

Tuesday

Bah!

The storm tracking across northern Colorado will not track far enough south to bring snow to Telluride. The day should be dry and partly sunny with a high temperature in the mid-30s.

Wednesday to Sunday

Wednesday through Sunday will remain dry, and temperatures will be warmer with daytime highs in the mid-to-upper 30s.

Christmas Week & Beyond

During Christmas week, there will be three chances for snow.

  • December 23: A storm could bring a few flakes as it mostly tracks to our north.

  • December 25-26: This storm has a somewhat higher chance of delivering more snow, but it's still 10 days away, so my confidence is low.

  • December 28-30: This storm has a higher chance of delivering a lot of snow as most of the longer-range forecast models show the system.

While we've seen little snow during the past three weeks, 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 and conditions are holding up nicely. Still, I can't wait for more snow to fall (hopefully) later this month.
