Beyond Friday, Colorado's Snow Forecast Looks Grim
By Chris Spears
DENVER (CBS4) - A quick moving storm system promises some much needed fresh snow to Colorado's high country later this week.
Mountain snow is expected to begin sometime Thursday and last into the day on Friday.
Northwest-facing slopes along and west of the Continental Divide could pick up several inches of snow.
Opening day at @vailmtn has been postponed from this Friday to Thanksgiving Day. Of course they're making snow but they could use some help with natural snow...something like this on the way for this Thursday night and Friday! Hoping the GFS model is right. #4wx #cowx pic.twitter.com/5DnK4vfBoc

But beyond that the outlook for cold and snow doesn't look too good for Colorado, at least for the next two weeks.
The latest long-range forecast from NOAA's Climate Prediction Center calls for warm and dry conditions to be the average through the end of the month.
