Posting Schedule

I am traveling to ski with my family through February 2. In an attempt to spend as much time with them (and get some sleep, too!), my posts will be shorter and more to the point than normal. And I will write on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule unless it makes sense to adjust this based on the timing of upcoming storms. Finally, at the bottom of each post, I will always mention when to expect the next post. Thanks for your understanding and your support!

Wednesday and Thursday

There will be snow showers on Wednesday, Wednesday night, and early Thursday.

During this time, the storm will track well to the south of Telluride, and this is not an ideal setup for a lot of snow. Still, snowflakes will be in the air, and if a few bands of more intense snow happen to hit the mountain, then there could be a few inches of accumulation.

The high temperature will be in the low-to-mid 20s on both Wednesday and Thursday.

Friday

Friday's high temperature will be around 35°F with mostly sunny skies.

Saturday & Sunday

During the weekend, a storm will track to the north of Colorado. Forecast data shows a trend away from stormy weather and toward drier weather, with all of the snow staying to the north of the Telluride area.

Both weekend days could be partly to mostly cloudy with a high temperature in the mid-30s.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (February 3-5)

All three days should be dry with a high temperature in the upper 30s.

Longer Range

The next chance for snow will be around Thursday, February 6, to Friday, February 7. While many versions of many models still show a decent chance for snow during this time, once again, the trend is now away from deeper snow totals and somewhat toward a storm with only light-to-moderate snow totals. We'll see how the forecast evolves during the next few days.
