A storm will move in from the west throughout the evening. Snow will begin to fall after midnight across the forecast area.
Smaller storms are always more difficult to forecast than large storms. Fortunately, I have seen a lot of consistency among the models lately. I am still reluctant to forecast double-digit totals in some of the higher-elevation areas. I still believe the highest totals will fall in the mid-elevation areas.
Thanks for not sending me your totals until Friday morning. The snow may get difficult to measure in the lower elevations on Thursday afternoon during the warmest time of the day.
Here is my forecast.
Wolf Creek: 4 to 8 inches
Purgatory, Coal Bank Pass: 4 to 7 inches
Telluride: Red Mountain Pass, Silverton: 2 to 4 inches
Lake Purgatory, Hermosa Cliffs, Castle Rock, Vallecito, Lemon area, Enchanted Forest, Glacier, Tween, Durango Ridge Ranch, Hesperus Hill area, Upper Forest Lakes, Upper Durango Hills: 6 to 10 inches
Dwest 1&2, All Rafter J, Lake Durango, Rockwood, Bakers Bridge, All Shenandoah, Northern Long Hollow Ranch, All Edgemont, Lower Forest Lakes, Pagosa Springs, Deer Valley Estates: 4 to 8 inches
Dolores, Pine River Ranches, Timberdale area, Trappers Crossing, Hermosa, Trappers Crossing, Durango, Bayfield, Mancos, Gem Village, Three Springs: 3 to 6 inches
