Another three inches of new snow fell at the Steamboat ski resort by Sunday morning, the precipitation coming at the tail-end of a storm that started late Wednesday and brought nearly 20 inches of snow to the resort’s mid-mountain weather station.

Local meteorologist Mike Weissbluth predicted on SnowAlarm.com Sunday the possibility of some snow showers through midweek with a mix of sun and clouds likely through Wednesday.

Looking ahead, Weissbluth noted a storm is expected to develop south of the Aluetian Islands in Alaska through the week as winds from the northwest bring “weak waves of energy and moisture” locally between Monday and Wednesday.

“Partly sunny skies and cool temperatures will be over our area through Monday, with the high temperature only reaching the mid-twenties in town, which is over five degrees below our average of 33 (degrees Fahrenheit,)” he wrote in his latest forecast.

“If skies can clear before sunrise Monday, low temperatures will fall to around five degrees below our average of 7 (degrees Fahrenheit), with likely sub-zero temperatures in the favored low-lying areas of the Yampa Valley,” he added.

Referencing the brewing Alaska storm, the local meteorologist noted in his Sunday report of “major uncertainty” for Thursday’s forecast given disagreement among various weather models; but he left the door open for the possibility of another round of snow later in the week.

“The American (Global Forecast System) has a quicker moving storm staying more to our north starting Thursday and ending Friday while the European (Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) has a far more substantial and further south event not ending until Saturday,” Weissbluth said.
