Light snow showers expected for the weekend in Steamboat Springs, another storm to arrive next week
Light snow showers are expected to continue in Steamboat Springs, bringing an extra 1-4 inches of snow by Saturday morning, according to local meteorologist Mike Weissbluth.
The showers follow Friday’s blustery storm, which closed the eastbound lanes on Interstate 70 over Vail Pass at 10 a.m., then again at 12:30 p.m.
Around 8 inches of snow fell in the mid-mountain region of Steamboat Resort, with another 4 inches predicted for Saturday, according to the Steamboat Resort Mountain Report.
Cold temperatures and snow showers will continue through Saturday afternoon, states Weissbluth’s local forecast on SnowAlarm.com, with another 2-5 inches of snow predicted for Steamboat Springs.
Sunday will bring some sunshine and temperatures will rise to around 40 degrees, says the weather report. Temperatures will continue to rise to the 50s by Monday.
The report adds that the warm, sunny weather will be short-lived, as another storm is expected to hit Steamboat Springs on Tuesday.
