This Week

Monday and Tuesday were dry, mostly sunny, and warm, with on-mountain high temperatures ranging from 40-50°F. Tuesday was breezy due to a storm that tracked to the north of Colorado.

Wednesday will be similar to Tuesday, with on-mountain high temperatures ranging from 40-50°F, and the gusty winds will continue.

Thursday will be another mostly sunny day, and the wind speeds will slow with a high temperature in the low 40s to low 50s. 

Then Friday and Saturday will be very warm and the on-mountain high temperature will be in the 50s.

Snow conditions this week will be typical for spring, with firm snow in the morning, followed by soft/corn/slushy snow during the midday and afternoon.

Longer Range

A storm will clip northern Colorado late this weekend, and both Sunday and Monday will be cooler with a high temperature in the 30s. There will be a chance for snow and maybe light accumulations on both days.

Another chance for 'some weather' will occur later next week around April 18-19, and closing day is scheduled for Sunday, April 20th.

I will write on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule through the closing day, with daily updates if the weather becomes more interesting.
