Monday - Tuesday

I hope that you all enjoyed the beautiful weekend!

We'll kick off this week with sunny skies and mild temps on Monday morning ahead of a significant storm Monday night and into Tuesday morning. Expect increasing cloud coverage through midday Monday and high-elevation snow showers through Monday afternoon.

The action will then ramp up on Monday night as the storm strengthens over Colorado. This will combine with colder air filtering in from the west and the wind switching to blow out of the west-northwest. Areas along the divide are locked in for the deepest totals but areas further west should also do quite well as these spring storms seem to always have a nice upside surprise.

In total, look for 5-10 inches for most locations, with 10-15 inches possible for A-Basin, Loveland, Winter Park, and Breckenridge. Copper Mountain and Vail will be right on the edge of double-digit snow totals.

The snow quality will not be mid-winter Colorado fluff but a lower-density snow quality, which is exactly what we want to cover up the hard base underneath. Take advantage of the fresh turns on Tuesday as this could be the last chance to score deeper turns in April.

The storm will quickly clear out on Tuesday afternoon and lead us into mostly clear skies on Tuesday night.

Travel Conditions

Dry road surfaces will be encountered through Monday morning.

Wet road surfaces and normal travel speeds should continue through Monday afternoon ahead of a quick transition to slushy, icy, snow-packed road surfaces from Monday evening through Tuesday morning. This will likely cause delays and road closures due to accidents so give yourself extra travel time through Tuesday morning.

Mostly dry road surfaces should quickly return by Tuesday afternoon thanks to the high mid-April sun angle. Expect normal travel speeds and mostly dry road surfaces through the second half of next week.

Wednesday - Sunday

Dry weather will prevail on Wednesday. Expect temps in the 30s to low 40s under partly sunny skies.

We'll then receive "unsettled" conditions from Thursday through Saturday as just enough moisture and storm energy slide over Colorado. I do think there will be times of sunny skies and any snow showers will likely be limited to the elevations above 9-10,000 feet.

Dry conditions and mild temps should then return on Sunday (April 21) and likely continue into early next week.

Late April

Looking further ahead, we should continue to receive mostly dry weather through the week of April 22. There will continue to be chances for high-elevation snow showers but I do not see anything significant on the horizon (yet) through the end of April.
