Thursday was a mostly cloudy day as moisture lingered over Colorado's northern mountains.

Now on Friday morning, clouds are covering the sky as the next storm approaches.

While the next storm will move on a track to our east, we should still see enough moisture and storm energy to bring some flakes to the mountain. I'll keep my expectations low with just 1-4 inches, but, this storm is just like last Saturday night's storm which brought a favorable wind from the north-northwest and the north and delivered 6 inches of fluffy snow. So there is a chance that the storm on Friday night will overperform with more-than-expected powder on Saturday morning. The best chance to see snow will be late Friday afternoon and into Friday night, so the best chance to enjoy fluffy snow under your skis or board will most likely be on Saturday morning.

Following this system, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday will be dry with partly-to-mostly sunny skies each day. Saturday will be cooler with a high of around 20 degrees, and Sunday through Tuesday will be warmer with a high of around 30 degrees.

Our next chance for snow will be from Wednesday, February 16, to Thursday, February 17. This storm will likely take a track to the south of Colorado, which is not ideal for us, but enough storm energy could move in from the northwest or west to at least bring us some snow and the potential to enjoy some powder either later on Wednesday or more likely on Thursday.

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