Winter Park Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 8 months ago March 10, 2024
Looking ahead to snow starting on Tuesday night
Summary
Sunday and Monday will be dry, Monday night will bring snow showers, and then a stronger storm should bring more snow starting on Tuesday night.
Update
Saturday
Saturday was gorgeous with blue skies and temperatures that rose to the upper 20s to low 30s.
Sunday
Sunday will also be dry and mostly sunny, and the high temperature will be a little warmer than Saturday, rising to the low 30s.
Monday
Monday will be dry but cloudier as moisture arrives ahead of the midweek storm. Monday's high temperature should be in the low 30s.
Tuesday
From Monday night to Tuesday morning, a weak storm could generate a few showers with just light accumulations of perhaps a dusting to 2 inches. Then the rest of Tuesday should be dry and partly cloudy with a high temperature in the mid-30s.
Tuesday Night & Wednesday
From Tuesday night through Wednesday, a strong storm should generate 3-6 inches of snow with the best powder on Wednesday morning and midday.
Wednesday night to Friday
Starting later in the day on Wednesday, the storm will track to the southwest, and the wind direction will blow from the east. This wind direction can be favorable for Winter Park, so I expect additional snow from Wednesday evening through Friday with the potential for 5-10+ inches of accumulation.
Longer Range
After this week's storm, odds favor dry and warm weather from about Saturday, March 16 to about Thursday, March 21. Following this period of dry weather, snow should return to Colorado sometime during the final ten days of March, starting as early as Friday, March 22.
My next update will be Monday morning.
Thanks for reading!
