Tuesday
On Tuesday and Tuesday night, a storm will track over the northern mountains of Colorado, but this will be too far north to bring snow to Telluride, so instead, Tuesday will be dry and partly sunny with a high temperature around 30°F.
Wednesday to Monday
From Wednesday, December 18, to Monday, December 23, expect dry weather, partly sunny skies, and warmer high temperatures in the mid-to-upper-30s.
Longer Range
We'll see three chances for snow during the final seven-ish days of December.
- December 23-24: A storm could bring a few flakes as it mostly tracks to our north.
- December 24-26: This storm could produce low-to-moderate accumulations.
- December 28-31: This storm has a higher chance of delivering deeper snow totals.
While it's nice to see three potential storms in the forecast, these storms will be fighting to break through an unfavorable weather pattern, so the odds are still somewhat low that any of these storms will bring significant snow.

- Telluride Ski Area (11,000 ft)
- Lizard Head Pass (10,300 ft)
- Dallas Divide (9,000 ft)
- Placerville (7,300 ft)
My next update will be on Wednesday morning.
