Winter Park Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 2 years ago February 16, 2022
Wednesday storm day
Summary
Snow will begin on Wednesday and the best chance for the softest turns should be during Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning.
Update
Tuesday was partly sunny and warm with a high temperature in the 30s.
Now on Wednesday morning, there is no accumulation yet, but the upper elevations could see a few flakes throughout the morning.
During Wednesday afternoon and evening is when we will have the best chance for steadier snow with accumulations of 4-8 inches, and we could even go above the high side of the forecast range thanks to a favorable wind from the north-northwest and the north for a few hours on Wednesday night.
The timing of the storm means that there could be some soft snow to enjoy during the last few runs of the day on Wednesday (with temperatures in the teens), and then we will also see soft snow on Thursday morning's first chair (with temperatures in the single digits).
Thursday and Friday will both be partly sunny days with mostly dry weather. There could be a few passing snow showers on Thursday night (with little accumulation). The high temperature on Thursday will be in the teens and the high on Friday will be a little warmer, around 20°F.
Saturday and Sunday will be sunny with warmer temperatures and a high of around 30°F.
Next week's weather will be active with a chance for snow most days, along with cool temperatures. The first round of snow should arrive at some point on Monday and continue through Tuesday, with some powder possible on Tuesday if the current forecast holds.
Thanks for reading and please check back each morning for daily updates!
