Friday turned out to be a partly cloudy day as moisture lingered over northern Colorado, and we even saw light snow showers return on Friday night, which I was not expecting.

Now on Saturday morning, some clouds and showers are still hanging around and temperatures are 10-15°F.

For the rest of Saturday, expect partly cloudy skies with maybe more breaks of sunshine later in the day. Temperatures should be in the teens to mid-20s.

Sunday will start clear and sunny with temperatures rising into the upper 20s to low 30s by the middle of the day. Then on Sunday afternoon, we'll see more clouds, and then snow will fall between late Sunday afternoon and early Monday morning. The most recent high-resolution model data continues to point to 2-4 inches of new snow by Monday, which will mean that we should start the week with soft turns on Monday morning.

Once the snow ends on Monday morning, the rest of Monday will be dry, and all day Tuesday will be dry as well.

Our next storm will bring some snow on Wednesday into Wednesday night, and since this storm will favor mountains farther to the east and closer to the continental divide, we could see decent accumulations of maybe 3-8 inches with soft turns on Thursday morning. After that, our next chance for snow will be around Monday, March 21, and that storm could be stronger with potential powder on or around the 21st.

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