Warm and breezy start to the workweek to be followed by a cold front Tuesday night headphones icon

Sunday, May 11, 2025

Temperatures are already seventy degrees this Mother’s Day at noon in Steamboat Springs with mostly sunny skies. Despite clouds this afternoon that may produce some gusty winds, temperatures will approach seventy-five degrees. Increasing breezes with continued warm temperatures will start the work week ahead of an approaching storm that will bring a cold front Tuesday night, followed by precipitation chances from Wednesday afternoon into Thursday.

The ridge of high pressure over the Rocky Mountains early in the weekend, responsible for the spectacular Saturday weather, is being pushed to the upper Midwest by a cold and strong storm moving into the Pacific Northwest. The storm is forecast to move through the Great Basin on Tuesday and split, with breezy southwest winds ahead of the storm carrying dry air from the Desert Southwest over our area on Monday and Tuesday. Monday will be the warmest day of the week, with high temperatures cresting seventy-five degrees, over ten degrees above our average of 64 F, while Tuesday will see a few degrees of cooling.

A strong cold front associated with the southern part of the split storm will move through our area Tuesday night, dropping the high temperatures on Wednesday into the low-fifties, over ten degrees below average and twenty-five degrees cooler than Monday. A reinforcing surge of cool air will be accompanied by enough moisture Wednesday afternoon to bring a good chance of precipitation lasting into Thursday, with around a tenth of an inch forecast for town and 1-4” of snow above 8000′. Depending on how much cool air and moisture make it into the storm, there may even be snowflakes in town early Thursday morning.

The cool weather will stick around as we transition into a period of northwest flow, with high temperatures moving into the mid-fifties on Thursday and the low-sixties on Friday. The weekend forecast is uncertain despite the weather forecast models agreeing on the general pattern, as the timing and strength of waves moving through the northwest flow will determine shower chances. I’ll have more details about that in my next regularly scheduled weather narrative on Thursday afternoon.
