Colorado’s mountains are to miss out on a good snow-maker storm over the weekend, but will receive some snow from another one starting two days later.
Temperatures will remain cool heading into the weekend as well with the storm system’s passing.
Best chance for snow, and powder skiing and riding, is from the other storm system starting Tuesday, with most of the state’s mountains ready for another round.
Recap:
On Thursday, high temperatures peaked in the middle 40s across most lower-elevation bases and middle 30s at higher-elevation bases in Colorado’s mountains.
The recorded high from the National Weather Service in Boulder at Copper Mountain was 34. The high in Aspen was 53.
Forecast:
Today will be sunny, breezy and dry. Highs will be similar to Thursday, with middle 40s forecast at most base areas.
On Saturday (Purgatory’s opening day) and Sunday, what was supposed to be a solid snow storm for the mountains looks to take a more southerly route into Arizona and New Mexico, leaving Colorado with only a slight chance of snow in the mountains.
