Up to an inch of snow is possible each night this week in Summit County, but no powder days are expected, meteorologists say. 

Summit County is under a hazardous weather outlook as daily light snow showers will accompany a cold front beginning Monday evening, according to reports from the National Weather Service of Boulder/Denver. During that time frame, temperatures will not reach above 17 degrees fahrenheit until Friday afternoon, and up to an inch of snow could accumulate each night. Lows are predicted to hover between -5 to 7 degrees. 

OpenSnow.com founder and head meteorologist Joel Gratz says the cold air moving into the region contains little moisture, which will likely be a limiting factor for accumulation.

Beyond Friday, National Weather Service meteorologists say the snow could continue, but they said the dry system is unlikely to produce large amounts of snowfall. Gratz’s report backs this up, saying it’s too soon to tell what the strength of that possible storm will bring. 

“From Jan. 28 to Feb. 1, one scenario is that the weather pattern will become stormier with at least one round of snowfall,” Gratz said. “Another scenario is that the northern and eastern areas of Colorado will see very cold temperatures and most of the snow will stay west and/or north of Colorado.”
