Wednesday was another warm day with readings in the 40s and 50s and skies clouding up during the day.

Thursday will be a transition day with cooler temperatures in the 40s, partly-to-mostly cloudy skies, gusty winds, a few showers, and even some possible dust blowing in from the southwest.

Thursday night to Saturday morning will deliver snow, and the storm looks like it has the potential (not the guarantee) to deliver enough snow for some late-season powder.

The first round of snow on Thursday night into Friday could bring at least a few inches of accumulation with some new powder on top of a firm base.

Then more snow from later Friday afternoon to Saturday morning could bring another burst of accumulation, yielding fun powder on Saturday morning.

We should be in the 4-8 inch range for total snowfall, though 10+ inches is not out of the question. It will be worth watching the snow stake cam to see if this storm will bring us a powder morning on Saturday.

Saturday will feel more like winter than spring with morning snow showers, temperatures in the teens and 20s, and maybe some sunshine later in the day.

Following the storm, Sunday through early next week will be sunny, dry, and warmer with highs from the mid-30s to the mid-40s.

Thanks for reading!
