Winter Park Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 1 year ago April 10, 2023
Very warm Monday and Tuesday, then snow on Friday and Saturday
Summary
If you like spring skiing and riding, Monday and Tuesday will be amazing days with full sunshine and very warm temperatures.
Update
Sunday was cloudier in the morning and then we saw sunshine during the afternoon with a high temperature in the 30s to low-40s.
Monday and Tuesday will be the warmest days of the week and maybe the season. Each day will bring sunny skies and a high temperature in the 40s and 50s.
Wednesday and Thursday will be transition days with more clouds, maybe a few showers, and gusty winds. High temperatures will stay warm with readings in the 40s. We could see dust blow from the southwest into Colorado during these days as well.
Friday and Saturday are when we will see our next chance for snow. Most of the medium-range forecast models now agree that snow should begin late on Thursday night or early on Friday morning and continue to fall through Saturday morning or midday. My initial estimate is for 5-10 inches of snow with possible powder on Friday afternoon and/or Saturday morning.
After the storm, Sunday, April 16 will flip back to dry weather with mostly sunny skies and a high temperature in the 30s and 40s.
