Wintry storm to revisit later Friday through Saturday

Thursday, November 7, 2024

Sunny skies and cool temperatures in the mid to low-thirties are over Steamboat Springs this Thursday mid-afternoon. The storm from last Tuesday will revisit our area later Friday through Saturday before skies clear and temperatures warm on Sunday and Veterans Day.

The Election Day storm was about twelve hours faster than forecast in my last weather narrative on Sunday afternoon, and left between four and five inches of snow in town and ten inches at the Steamboat Ski Resort mid-mountain powdercam. After the coldest night of the season so far, with a low of 5 F at the Bob Adams airport and 2 F at the SnowAlarm weather station near the base of the ski area, around fifteen degrees below our average of 19 F, a beautiful cool and sunny day is over our area.

But that storm is not done with us yet, as it is currently an eddy cut off from the jet stream over the southern borders of Arizona and New Mexico. The storm is forecast to move eastward today before turning northward, traveling along the eastern Colorado border on Friday, and reaching the Nebrask-Colorado border by Saturday morning. While the eastern Colorado Plains will receive the heaviest snowfall, the storm’s track first brings easterly winds across the Park Range through tonight and early Friday before turning to be from the north later Friday and the northwest from Friday night into Saturday.

Moisture is forecast to wrap around the eddy, and if the storm is not too far east and similar to the current forecast, snow showers should begin Friday night and continue through the day Saturday in the favorable cool, moist and unstable northwest flow on the backside of the eddy. Another 3-6” could fall on the hill by Saturday afternoon with an inch or two in town.

Winds will turn to be from the west as the eddy moves into the upper MidWest on Sunday, bringing dry air and a beautiful day with temperatures warming into the upper forties, several degrees above our average of 45 F, and the warmest temperatures since the 61 F last Saturday.

The beautiful weather continues for Veterans Day before a storm currently moving across the Aleutian Islands may affect our area around Tuesday. Enjoy the wintry landscape this weekend, which is a marked change from the dry and warm weather a week ago, and tune in to my next regularly scheduled weather narrative on Sunday afternoon for more details on a possible Tuesday storm.
