Friday

Thursday night's storm delivered about 1 inch at mid-mountain, and then the skies cleared out now around sunrise on Friday morning.

Going into this storm, there was a chance for more snow, but not all factors aligned, so even getting a small refresh was a good thing. 

Weatherwise on Friday, the day will be dry and sunny with a high temperature in the 20s.

Longer Range

The longer-range outlook is pretty clear.

• Saturday and Sunday, Feb 22-23: Dry and mostly sunny. Highs in the 30s.
  
  
• Monday, Feb 24: Dry and mostly sunny. Highs in the 30s.
  
  
• Tuesday, Feb 25: Dry and mostly sunny. Highs in the 30s.
  
  
• Wednesday, Feb 26: Maybe a few more clouds with a cooler high temperature around 30°F. 
  
  
• Thursday and Friday, Feb 27-28: Dry and mostly sunny with a high temperature around 40°F.
  
  
• Saturday and Sunday, Mar 1-2: Likely dry and warm with highs in the 30s. Some models show precipitation returning, but most models keep the precipitation away until the following week.

Finally, during the week of March 3-7, most versions of most models agree that storms will return to the Rockies, so we will likely see snow during this time.
