Sunday's "Storm"
On Sunday and Sunday night, a storm moved across northern Colorado, but the upper mountain only received a dusting of new snow late on Sunday night.
Monday to Thursday
For the first four days of this week, the weather will bring typical spring conditions - highs will be in the upper 30s on Monday, with temperatures in the 40s from Tuesday to Thursday. There could be a few showers on Tuesday and Wednesday, though this likely won't impact the spring conditions that should occur for the next few days.
Friday & Saturday
On Friday and Saturday, a storm will likely bring colder weather with highs in the 30s, and at least a few inches of snow will be possible. At the low end, it'll be dust-on-crust conditions, and at the high end, there could be 6+ inches of snow and maybe some powder on Saturday.
Longer Range
Sunday, April 20th is closing day. The closing-day forecast is a bit uncertain, but I think it's likely that the weather will be dry, with a high temperature in the mid-30s to mid-40s.
