Sunday was a sunny day with comfortable temperatures in the 20s and 30s. It was lovely to enjoy a short break during an otherwise stormy couple of weeks.

On Monday, we could see snow showers in the evening, but most of the day should be dry with a temperature in the 20s.

On Monday night into Tuesday morning, another round of moisture and weak storm energy could create accumulating snow, though I have little confidence in the details of this and my expectations are low. Still, I will watch the snow stake to see what transpires.

From Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday evening, we will swing back to mostly dry weather.

Then on Tuesday night through Wednesday night, the main storm of the week will move across Colorado. I expect 3-7+ inches of snow with some fresh snow on Wednesday morning, powder maybe getting somewhat deeper throughout the day, and likely some 'bonus' snow from late Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday at midnight thanks to a favorable wind from the northwest. This means that the softest and/or best powder could be Wednesday's last chair or Thursday's first chair.

Following the midweek storm, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be dry with temperatures in the 20s to low 30s. Then a stormy period will begin around Sunday, January 15, and continue through around Saturday, January 21.

Thanks for reading!
