Monday

There could be snow showers on Monday midday, afternoon, and evening, with perhaps 1-2 inches of accumulation. The high temperature will be in the mid-20s.

Tuesday & Wednesday

Tuesday should bring dry weather and a high temperature around 20°F, then snow will likely fall from Tuesday afternoon/evening through Wednesday morning.

There could be 3-6 inches of new snow by Wednesday morning, though this is a tricky forecast as several atmospheric factors will be on the edge of 'okay to great', so there is some downside and upside potential.

Wednesday will be cooler with a high temperature close to 5-10°F.

Thursday

Thursday should be dry and mostly sunny with a high temperature of around 20°F.

Friday & Saturday

A strong storm with a LOT of moisture will bring snow on Friday and Saturday. The wind direction will not be perfect during a lot of the storm, but the high amount of moisture and strong storm energy should still deliver a lot of snow.

On Thursday night, I expect 3-6+ inches of snow, so there should be powder on Friday morning.

On Friday, I expect 4-8 inches of snow, so there should be 'free refills' during the day. Also, temperatures will be warm, so snow quality could be thicker than normal.

On Friday night and Saturday, the wind direction will be favorable, which could lead to an additional 3-6+ inches of snow. Temperatures will cool, so the snow quality should be fluffier.

It should be a fun storm with two powder days.

Sunday & Monday

Sunday and Monday will likely be dry, though there's a chance for a few snow showers each day if moisture and storm energy lingers over Colorado.

Longer Range

The next storm will bring snow around Tuesday, February 18, with potential powder on that Tuesday and/or perhaps on Wednesday morning.
