Daily Snow Forecasts

Colorado
Warm weekend, then snow Monday into Tuesday
Updated 1 day ago Joel Gratz
We'll see warm and mostly dry weather through Saturday, a few rain showers on Sunday, and then a stronger storm will bring snow to most mountains on Monday afternoon, Monday night, and linger into Tuesday morning. Accumulations should be at least a few inches and maybe 6+ inches in a few high-elevation spots.
US and Canada
Final Forecast for 2020-2021
Updated 4 months ago Alan Smith
An active pattern across the Rockies continues to deliver late-season snow to the remaining ski areas that are open in Colorado. Later this week, a storm will bring high elevation snow to the Pacific Northwest and Canadian Rockies, and over the weekend, portions of the Northern U.S. Rockies (especially Montana) could see heavy snow.
