Winter Park Daily Snow

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

A sunny weekend, then snow next week at Winter Park

Summary

Saturday and Sunday will bring sunny skies and highs in the 30s. Then snow should return on Monday night and we’ll see chances for snow for about one week.

Short Term Forecast

Friday started cloudy with light snow showers, then the rest of the day turned out to be mostly sunny with chilly temperatures that stayed in the 20s.

For Saturday and Sunday, look forward to gorgeous weather with mostly sunny skies and high temperatures in the 30s.

Monday will also be mostly sunny with highs in the 30s, though starting during the late afternoon and into the evening, we’ll see more clouds and a chance for snow.

Extended Forecast

I continue to have high confidence in the general longer-range forecast and low confidence in the details of the longer-range forecast.

Starting on Monday evening and continuing for about one week, a storm centered to our west will bring chances for snow every day. During this stretch, it will not snow every hour of every day, but most or all days will have a chance for snow, and multi-day snow totals could be significant with double-digit accumulation very much a possibility.

I still think that the best chance for any powder will be during the middle to end of next week. I’ll do my best to narrow down this vague forecast, though, with a long-duration and multi-part storm like this one coming up, we will likely have low forecast confidence throughout the event and will rely quite a bit on watching the snow stake cam:-)

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