Saturday morning offered excellent powder, I hope that you enjoyed it!

Light snow and flurries fell Saturday with minimal accumulation, and then on Saturday night, snow showers continued with a coating to 1 inch accumulating at mid-mountain.

Now on Sunday, expect a dry day with at least some sunshine and also strong winds with gusts of 50+ mph. The wind will be the big weather story of the day.

Monday will also be dry with some sunshine and unfortunately continued gusty winds.

We will see three rounds of snow spread across six days. Round #1 should be Tuesday to Thursday, round #2 should be Friday to Saturday, and round #3 should be Sunday to Monday. With plentiful moisture streaming into Colorado, each stormy period could bring 2-5+ inches of snow even though other factors, like the wind direction, might not be ideal.

There are nuances to the forecast that we’ll have to figure out, like the exact timing of each round of intense snow, if a cold front will stall near or over the mountain, and a few other details. But for now, the overall forecast looks excellent and we should enjoy multiple snowy days during the coming week.

Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
