Steamboat Springs area short term weather forecast from Monday night

Monday, April 11, 2016

One last storm to our south that will move across the U.S - Mexican border on Tuesday will keep the chance of afternoon showers for Tuesday and Wednesday with mild temperatures and a fair bit of sun each day.

Thursday looks to be breezy to windy and warm, again with the possibility of afternoon showers, ahead of a possibly major spring storm that makes landfall in southern Oregon that morning. This cold storm will deepen rapidly as it moves across the Great Basin on Friday and the possibility for major impacts exists by the weekend as Gulf of Mexico moisture mixes with the storm and produces possibly heavy precipitation over our area.

The storm looks to hang around through the weekend and into Monday and will also affect the Front Range.

Steamboat Springs area short term weather forecast from Saturday night

Saturday, April 9, 2016

Several storms passing to our south will keep warm and showery afternoon weather over the area through midweek.

Yet another southern storm makes landfall early Sunday and may phase with a weak cool front associated with a passing storm to our north later in the day and into the evening Sunday. This front may be the focus of stronger showers Sunday afternoon and evening and could briefly lower snow levels to around 8000′ after it passes.

More afternoon showers are forecast for Monday through Wednesday as additional warm Pacific storms move along the U.S. - Mexico border.

Steamboat Springs area short term weather forecast from Friday night

Friday, April 8, 2016

Several storms passing to our south will keep warm and showery weather over the area through midweek.

The forecast storm for tonight has weakened enough so that only clouds are expected, keeping overnight temperatures mild. But mostly cloudy skies will remain for Saturday as an additional weak storm crosses the Great Basin, increasing the chance of afternoon and evening rain showers at low and mid elevations and afternoon snow showers at high elevations, with the rain-snow line possibly as high as 9500′ - 10000′.

Yet another southern storm makes landfall early Sunday and may phase with a weak cool front associated with a passing storm to our north later in the day and into the evening Sunday. This front may be the focus of stronger showers Sunday afternoon and evening and could lower snow levels to around 8000′ after it passes.

More afternoon showers are forecast for Monday through Wednesday as additional warm Pacific storms move along the U.S. - Mexico border.

Steamboat Springs area short term weather forecast from Thursday night

Thursday, April 7, 2016

After another warm and mostly sunny spring day Friday, a possibly prolonged period of relatively warm and unsettled weather starts Closing Weekend and extends through the following week.

A piece of the just-passed Tuesday storm, left behind and loitering west of Baja, is forecast to be pushed just south of our area Friday night by another splitting Pacific storm upstream. This storm will be warm due its vacation west of Baja, bringing afternoon clouds and a chance of rain showers to the valley and snow showers to the higher elevations Friday night with little or no accumulations.

The southern part of the split Pacific storm will bring more low elevations rain showers and higher elevations snow showers during the day Saturday as it crosses the southern California coast and enters the Great Basin.

As the storm moves slowly across the southern Great Basin on Sunday, there will likely be a weak cool front associated with the northern stream moving across our area later in the day and into the evening Sunday. These two features may phase to increase the chance and intensity of showers for a time later in the day Sunday.

More afternoon showers are forecast for Monday as another warm Pacific storm moves along the U.S - Mexican border early in the work week.
