Friday

Light snow fell on Thursday afternoon and again on Thursday night with about 1 inch of accumulation.

Now on Friday morning, snow has started early and another inch has accumulated by about 9 am. Expect an additional 3-5 inches during the day, which is an increase in the forecast totals. The high temperature on Friday will be around 20°F.

Friday Night

On Friday night, the main part of the storm will move across Colorado and should deliver another 3-5 inches of accumulation.

Saturday

Saturday morning should offer powder for the first chair due to the snow that fell on Friday night. Get out early and expect the high temperature to be in the mid-20s.

Sunday

On Sunday, expect dry and sunny weather with a high temperature in the mid-30s.

Sunday Night to Tuesday

The final storm in the series should deliver additional flakes, though most of the snow may stay to the north of Telluride. The high temperature on Monday and Tuesday should be around 20°F.

Longer Range

January 1-3 should be dry, then our next chance for some snow will be around Saturday, January 4 to Monday, January 6.
