Expect WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS in Mountains Tuesday Night into Wednesday Evening!

The NWS NDFD snowfall forecast shows a few snowflakes in the Pagosa area and 4-8″ near Wolf Creek Pass. (Click on Title of post to see graphic)

Monday – 4 May 2026 – 5:30pm

Snow amounts for our mountains have trended up for the Tuesday night/Wednesday storm.

The first few scattered showers will start over the mountains late Tuesday afternoon and then in the Pagosa area around sunset. Hit and miss showers and an isolated thunderstorm or two will persist into Wednesday evening.

Snow levels will mostly be above 8,500ft but could briefly drop to around 7,800ft with a thunderstorm or strong shower.

Precip amounts…

Mountains above 9,000ft: 4-8″ of snow

Pagosa area: 0.10″ to 0.30″ of rain. Folks above 7,800ft could see a few snowflakes but I don’t expect any accumulation.

I’ll do a more thorough post Tuesday afternoon.

I grew up in Montana where my love of the mountains is rooted. I served in the Air Force, forecasting aviation weather, for 24 years. I had eight assignments and my favorites were Colorado, Alaska, Korea, and Germany. I deployed several times, including to Iraq and Afghanistan. After RV traveling for nine years, Shawn and I found paradise in Pagosa. Here we enjoy playing outside in the spectacular San Juan mountains!
