Saturday was a sunny day with comfortable temperatures in the 20s and low 30s. This temperature was a few degrees cooler than Friday's high temperature.

Now on Sunday morning, the weather is dry, the snow stake shows no new snow, but in 24 hours, the snow stake will look different.

Sunday will be the final day in our streak of dry and sunny weather. The high temperature on Sunday will be 3-5 degrees warmer compared to Saturday and should reach into the 30s.

The next storm will arrive on Sunday night just before or around midnight, and steady snow should deliver 3-5 inches by the time that lifts start spinning on Monday morning. Then during the day on Monday, snow showers will continue and I have low confidence in the forecast as we could see just an inch or two, or we could get lucky with 2-4 additional inches. Monday's snowfall will likely not be enough to make us forget about the firmer base on many slopes, but it should be fun to ride the new snow on groomers and the softer, non-sun-affected slopes.

Looking at the rest of next week, Tuesday and Wednesday will be dry, then another fast-moving storm will bring 3-6 inches of snow from Wednesday late afternoon through Wednesday night, and this timing means that there should be another round of soft turns on Thursday morning.

Then we'll flip back to dry weather with cold temperatures on Thursday (with a high in the single digits), and warmer temperatures from Friday through Sunday (February 10-12) with a high in the 20s and 30s these days.

After that, the week of February 13-17 should be stormy across the western U.S., and here in Colorado we'll have a lower (but not zero) chance for a storm early in the week around February 13-14, and then a higher chance for a storm later in the week around February 15-17.
