Monday

Monday morning offered cold powder, and an additional 5 inches of snow fell late in the day and early in the evening.

 

Tuesday & Wednesday

Tuesday morning's conditions should continue to be soft due to the snow from Monday evening. On Tuesday, Tuesday night, and Wednesday morning, we'll see snow showers with a possible 2-6+ inches of accumulation. These "snow shower" situations can produce sneaky fun conditions. Temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday will top out in the upper teens.

Thursday

Thursday should be mostly dry and partly sunny with a warmer daytime high reaching about 30°F.

Thursday Night to Saturday

From Thursday night to Saturday midday, the next storm will bring precipitation to northern and central Colorado. We could see 1-6 inches of snow during this time with the potential for thicker/denser powder on Friday and/or Saturday. The high temperatures on Friday and Saturday should be in the low 30s, and the base area may see times of rain (not snow) due to the warmer temperatures.

Longer Range

From Sunday to Monday (March 31 to April 1), the next storm could bring snow, though the track of this system is not favorable for significant accumulations. After the storm, most of next week should be dry and feel like spring with high temperatures in the 30s. Then the next chance for a storm, or multiple storms, will be between Friday, April 5, and Monday, April 8.

My next update will be Wednesday morning.
