Summary

Tuesday's storm missed us to the north (as expected), and the next six days will remain dry with warmer temperatures. Then there should be multiple storms during the final 7-8 days of December.

Wednesday

Tuesday's storm tracked to the north of Telluride (as expected) and no snow fell on Tuesday or Tuesday night.

Now on Wednesday, the weather will be dry with partly sunny skies, and the temperature will start in the low 20s during the morning and rise to around 35°F.

Thursday to Monday

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and likely Monday will be dry and partly sunny with somewhat warmer high temperatures in the mid-30s.

On Monday, December 23, there could be a few snowflakes from a storm passing to the north, but accumulations look light (or there might be no snow).

Longer Range

The forecast becomes more promising starting around the middle of next week, and here is how it could play out:

  • December 25: Perhaps a decent storm with moderate snow totals. Just in time for Christmas and the start of Chanukkah!

  • December 28-30: Sometime around the weekend of December 28-29 we could see another system, or perhaps this will be two systems, or multiple days of snow, and could extend into the final week of the year.

Following a pretty dry period from late November through mid/late December, it's nice to see multiple days of snow in the forecast, even if the details are still uncertain since the storms are about 7-10 days away.

My next update will be on Thursday morning.
