Thursday

On Wednesday night, a weak storm slid across Colorado, but most of the snow stayed to the north and east of Telluride with just a few flakes near the mountain.

Now on Thursday morning, there are still some flakes in the air, and the temperature is chilly, in the single digits.

For the rest of Thursday, there could be a few flakes in the air, though there should be little or no accumulation and perhaps there will be more sunshine. The high temperature will be in the low teens.

Friday

Friday should be dry and partly sunny with a high temperature near 20°F.

Saturday

The next storm will bring snow from Friday night through Saturday evening.

On the downside, the storm will lack moisture.

On the upside, the storm will be pretty strong and last most of the day.

Our multi-model average forecast has increased and shows 3-6 inches, which is reasonable or maybe a bit high. Saturday should start with some new snow for first tracks and conditions should get softer throughout the day, with snow maybe lingering into Saturday evening.

Sunday

On Sunday, soft conditions and snow showers could persist and the temperature will top out around 10°F.

Monday & Tuesday

Monday and Tuesday should be dry and cold with high temperatures in the 10-20°F range.

Wednesday & Thursday

Wednesday and Thursday will be dry and warmer with high a temperature of around 30°F.

Next Storm

Sometime between Friday, January 17, and Monday, January 20, a storm should bring more snow to Colorado. We will be on the edge of the storm track, and a slight deviation in the storm's track (from January 17-20) will mean the difference between little/no snow and potentially significant snow. Stay tuned.
