Reminder: The Winter Park side is closed, and Mary Jane will remain open through Sunday, May 9.

Saturday will be another warm day with on-mountain high temperatures in the 50s. The day will be dry, though high clouds will filter the sunshine.

On Saturday evening or Saturday night, there could be a brief shower.

On Sunday, look for showers to develop during the middle of the day and afternoon. These will likely be showers of rain or mixed precipitation. They shouldn’t ruin the day by any means, just something to think about.

Then from Sunday night through Monday afternoon, we’ll see cooler temperatures and times of steadier snowfall. I think 3-6 inches is a reasonable forecast by Monday afternoon, and thanks to this new snow, there could be some powder to enjoy from Monday morning throughout the afternoon. The snow quality will be thicker due to warmer temperatures, and this is what we want to cover up the base and maybe create softer conditions.

Tuesday morning should be drier, then we’ll see a higher chance for more snow from Tuesday night into Wednesday with possibly a few more inches of accumulation. Wednesday morning could also offer some powder.

We should see dry weather from Wednesday, May 5 through Saturday, May 8. Then another storm could arrive just in time for closing day on Sunday, May 9.

I will write daily updates through this next storm and then post my final update on Wednesday, May 5.

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