Copper Mountain Daily Snow

Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest Copper Mountain Daily Snow

More snow to start the week

Summary

Sunday will be mostly dry, then snow will fall during most days next week.

Update

Saturday started dry, then light snow fell on Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening with 4-5 inches of accumulation across the mountain.

Sunday will be dry, mostly cloudy, and pretty warm with a temperature of around 30 degrees.

Then snow will return for the first three or four days of the week.

From Monday into Monday night, we could see some snow, though I think the most intense snow will stay just to the north of the mountain.

From late Monday night through Tuesday evening, a narrow band of intense snow could form thanks to the combination of the jet stream overhead and abundant moisture. If this comes together just right, keep your eye out Tuesday for powder that gets deeper through the day with the potential for 5-10 inches of accumulation from late Monday night through Tuesday night.

From later Tuesday through Wednesday, we could see light snow or a break in the snow altogether as the brunt of the storm moves into southern Colorado. There could still be leftover powder or at least soft conditions on Wednesday morning.

Then from later Wednesday into early Thursday, we should get more snow as additional storm energy moves across Colorado, and this could create soft/powder conditions on Thursday morning with at least a few additional inches of snow accumulation.

On Friday expect dry weather.

Then from Friday night through the weekend, another storm will likely deliver more snow with potential powder during at least one weekend day.

Thanks for reading!
