Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest Winter Park Daily Snow

More chances for light snow this week at Winter Park

Summary

We will see snow showers later on Tuesday and Tuesday night and again Thursday through Saturday morning. Accumulations will be scattered and will probably be light.

Short Term Forecast

On Monday, we saw every type of weather with some sunshine, some clouds, and some snow showers with just 1 inch of accumulation late in the afternoon.

On Tuesday, we should see dry weather to start the day, and then we’ll have a chance for snow showers from Tuesday midday through Tuesday night. I have low confidence in the forecast and accumulations could be anything from a coating up to 6 inches if we get lucky and the showers center themselves on Winter Park. Keep your eye on the snow stake camera to see if Wednesday morning will offer fresh powder.

On Wednesday, we could see afternoon and evening snow showers with possibly light accumulations.

Then from Thursday morning through Saturday morning, the third storm of the week will track south of Colorado, like the previous storms this week, and this marginally favorable track should limit our snow accumulation. That said, we could still see a couple of inches of snow, and the best chance to find softer turns could be on Friday morning and again on Saturday morning.

Extended Forecast

Saturday and Sunday should be dry and warmer with Saturday high temperatures in the 30s and Sunday high temperatures climbing into the 40s.

Then sometime between Monday, March 29, and Wednesday, March 31, we will likely see snow thanks to a storm that will track to our north. It is still too soon to know if this storm will bring just a little bit of snow or if we will get lucky and see a chance for 6+ inches of snowfall.

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