Pleasant spring weather to be interrupted by cool front Wednesday
Sunday, April 6, 2025
Temperatures are in the low thirties in Steamboat Springs and upper teens at the top of the Steamboat Ski Resort under sunny skies late this Sunday morning. Warming temperatures this week will be briefly interrupted by a grazing cool front on Wednesday that will bring some clouds starting Tuesday. The warmup resumes on Thursday with mostly sunny skies and temperatures approaching seventy degrees on Friday.
While what is left of last week’s storm moves well to our south and east, a ridge of high pressure ahead of a Gulf of Alaska storm moves over the Rocky Mountains today and Monday. Expect mostly sunny skies and temperatures warming from the upper forties today into the mid-fifties on Monday, just above our average of 52 F.
The Gulf of Alaska storm, currently bringing precipitation to the Pacific Northwest, is forecast to weaken as it rotates across the northern Rockies on Tuesday and Wednesday. Ahead of a grazing cool front on Wednesday, expect increasing clouds and westerly breezes on Tuesday, with high temperatures a degree or two warmer than Monday.
High temperatures on Wednesday will fall toward average along with a possible high-elevation flurry before rebounding toward sixty degrees on Thursday under mostly sunny skies. Even warmer temperatures approaching seventy degrees on Friday and heading into next weekend are possible.
So enjoy the very pleasant spring workweek ahead, and check back to my next regularly scheduled weather narrative on Thursday afternoon for a look at the weather during next weekend’s 43rd Annual Cardboard Classic and Splashdown Pond Skim.
