Steamboat Springs area short term weather forecast from Monday night

Monday, April 4, 2016

A weak front will pass through the area tonight bringing breezy westerly winds and rain showers to the valleys and snow showers to the hill after midnight, possibly leaving an inch or two on the mountain by the morning ski report.

A quick-moving storm from the Pacific Northwest passing through our area on Tuesday will bring continued snow to the mountain and snow showers to the valleys with breezy to windy northwest winds and even the possibility of some thunder in the afternoon.

Models are struggling with the southern extent of the system, but an additional 3-6” may fall on the mountain by the time the precipitation ends Tuesday evening, with little or no accumulations in the valleys.

Skies will clear and spring will return for midweek into the beginning of the weekend before a possibly prolonged period of wet and relatively warm weather starts around mid-weekend.

Steamboat Springs area short term weather forecast from Sunday night

Sunday, April 3, 2016

After another spring day Monday, with even some afternoon and evening showers possible later in the day, winter returns on Tuesday as a quick-moving storm from the Pacific Northwest brings snow to the mountain and snow showers to the valleys with breezy to windy northwest winds.

Models are struggling with the southern extent of the system, but if the stronger solution verifies, as much as 4-8” of snow may fall on the mountain during the day and into the evening Tuesday, to be reported Wednesday morning.

Skies will clear and spring will return for midweek into the beginning of the weekend before a possibly prolonged period of wet weather starts around mid-weekend.

Steamboat Springs area short term weather forecast from Saturday night

Saturday, April 2, 2016

A ridge to our west will move over our area by Monday ahead of a quick-moving wave in northwest flow timed for Tuesday. But first, a minor wave traveling over the top of the ridge on Sunday brings some clouds and perhaps isolated showers to our area later in the day, especially on the mountain.

Monday looks to be similar to Sunday but a bit warmer with some afternoon instability producing scattered showers later in the day.

The next Pacific Northwest storm threatens our area beginning Tuesday and likely lingering into Wednesday, with models struggling on the southward extent of the wave and the amount of cool air drawn into it from the Canadian Plains. At this point, it looks like a moderate snow event on the mountain with breezy to windy northwest winds, though details will surely evolve as the storm approaches.
