Thursday Recap

Thursday was another very warm day with on-mountain high temperatures in the upper 30s to mid-40s. More clouds arrived during the afternoon.

Friday (March 28)

Friday will be dry and mostly cloudy with a high temperature in the 40s.

From late Friday afternoon through Friday night, a storm will deliver 1-3 inches of snow. 

Saturday (March 29)

Saturday should start with some fresh snow that fell on Friday night, though the new snow will be on top of a firm melt/freeze base, so conditions could be odd.

Saturday's weather will likely be mostly dry and partly cloudy, with a high temperature in the 30s.

On Saturday night, another storm will bring snow, though this storm will likely track mostly to the north of Telluride.

Sunday (March 30)

I think Saturday night's storm will deliver just a dusting to an inch of snow, and this could soften Sunday morning's conditions just a bit.

The temperature on Sunday should be in the 30s, and skies should be partly sunny.

Monday (March 31)

Monday should be dry with partly cloudy skies and a high in the 30s.

Tuesday & Wednesday (April 1-2)

The third storm in the sequence should bring snow on Tuesday and Wednesday.

I have pretty high confidence that this will be a strong storm and that accumulations will be in the 5-10 inch range. Snow conditions could get softer on Tuesday afternoon, and Wednesday morning could offer the softest and deepest conditions if the snow continues to fall on Tuesday night.

Longer Range

I think Thursday and Friday (April 3-4) will be dry, and then there could be a (strong) storm during the closing weekend of April 5-6.
