Monday was a perfectly sunny day, and now on Tuesday morning, we once again have a temperature inversion as readings up on the hill are in the teens to low 20s with readings near the base in the single digits to teens.

Tuesday will be a mostly sunny and warm day with a high temperature of around 30 degrees.

Wednesday will start out dry, then we'll see more clouds throughout the day with snow likely starting by late afternoon or early evening, and the high temperature should be in the low 20s. If the snow starts early enough, there could be just a bit of powder by the time of last chair on Wednesday, though this is a lower probability.

Wednesday night into Thursday morning will bring the most snow with likely 2-4+ inches by Thursday mid-morning. The northwest and north-northwest wind direction with this storm is good for us and the wind direction combined with the strong energy in this storm should be enough to bring us softer conditions by Thursday morning. We may even see more snow than the 2-4 inch range.

Friday and Saturday will be a return to dry and mostly sunny weather with high temperatures around 30 degrees.

Then on Saturday night into Sunday, a fast-moving storm from the west should clip northern Colorado and deliver a dusting to a few inches of snow. This could create soft-ish conditions on Sunday.

Looking ahead to next week, a storm is likely around Tuesday, November 29, though it's too soon to talk about the details like storm timing and snow amounts.

Thanks for reading!
