Saturday snow at Winter Park

Summary

Friday night delivered 1 inch of snow, we’ll see snow showers continue all day on Saturday.

Short Term Forecast

Friday night’s storm came through on the low end with just 1 inch of accumulation at mid-mountain as of 500am on Saturday. We were lucky to see any snow at all, actually, as many other nearby mountains did not see flakes.

For the rest of Saturday, I have low confidence in the snow accumulation forecast but pretty high confidence that we’ll continue to see snow fall. Most models show that snow showers will continue throughout the day with a somewhat favorable wind from the west and west-northwest, and to the northwest where the storm is coming from, it has a history of producing significant accumulations, so let’s hope that this means that we’ll see at least a few inches of snow and conditions softening through the day.

Extended Forecast

Sunday will be dry and chilly with high temperatures in the teens.

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday will be dry and warmer with high temperatures in the upper 20s to mid-30s.

On Wednesday night into Thursday morning, there is a very low chance that we’ll see a few flakes from a storm that will track well to the south.

Then, from Thursday through Sunday, March 4-7, the main weather story will be sunshine and warm temperatures with highs in the 30s and a feeling of spring skiing in the air.

Looking far ahead, our next meaningful chance for snow could be around March 15th, plus or minus a few days.

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