We've been having a favorable snowfall pattern for the mountains, but not so much over eastern Colorado; a system next week bares watching to potentially change that, however. During just the past three days, parts of the mountains have picked up quite a bit of snow; two to three feet in some cases. It is still very early in the season to be making any long-term trend assumptions, but through today the state's snow water equivalent is trending relatively normally. And, with the storm pattern

I say chaotic because seasonal modeling has been far from settling in on a solution, both within a single model and across several models. This can be due to the usual chaotic behavior in our weather patterns during the November and the early part of December – it is a transitional period from a summer flow to a winter one. This is commonly a t

Overall our weather pattern this week will favor the mountains with the moisture, but leave lower-end probabilities for the metro areas and plains. There are at least systems that bare watching, but as of this writing the snowfall potential for the eastern half of the state is low. With that said, lacking a strong system, temperatures are expected to stay relatively on a normal path for Denver, with no huge swings in the outlook at this time. There is a potential change to next weekend's outloo
