Winter Weather in Upper Yampa River Basin, Colorado

Generally 4 to 7 inches of snow fell across the area with 7.1 at Yampa 5.1 S. Winds generally gusted 35 to 45 mph with gusts of 50 to 60 mph at the Steamboat Springs Airport.

Persistent northwest flow due to a strong jet over the region along with remnants of an atmospheric river and an arctic air mass in place, resulted in another round of moderate to heavy snowfall and strong winds favoring the northern and central mountains of western Colorado. The San Juan Mountains still saw some moderate snowfall but to a lesser extent than the northern and central mountains.
