We've kind of seen it all so far this winter and early meteorological spring in Colorado. A few busts, a few booms and a few in-betweens. This week, however, arriving right on time, could be a mid-March special... Any of you model geeks, us included, have seen some of the booming snowfall potential with the storm set to come through around Thursday, potentially lasting well into Friday, and in some instances... until Saturday! Now, not even 96 hours out from this storm we cannot confidently cal

Really no other way to cut it. This system really had trouble getting its act together and as such, will likely underperform expected snow totals. As of 1:00pm, heavy snow has line up along and south of the South Platte River valley. Snow between 3-6" had already fallen in this area through the late morning. Radar Depiction 1:00pm ThursdayA wider view shows very meager precip along the Urban Corridor. Although, areas around Colorado Springs have seen reports of rain, snow, graupel and even ligh

Hey everybody! Finally going to see a more favorable pattern for rain and snow across the front range later this week. It looks like a slow moving... blob... of unsettled weather is on the docket come Thursday and Friday – and by blob, I mean this thing: You can see it's not coming through all that organized, it's pretty far south and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot to get it to spin up a bit more and cause more of a ruckus. Never fear, though! It does have something working in our favo

It's Friday morning and we're seeing a weak storm system bring light snow and flurries to the south Denver metro, just enough snow to cause havoc on I-25 in Colorado Springs and some heavier snow showers down near Pueblo and Canon City. This morning's system is fairly weak, but it's a case of just enough snow at the wrong time which caused problems. Into this afternoon, we're not looking all too bad. Most of us will see snow ending. Highs should top out above freezing for most, so any slick ar

We're starting to get into the "increasing confidence" range of the storm set to impact Colorado in the coming days. But "increasing confidence" doesn't mean "high confidence" at this point. For now we've got some data to at least share, and give some general guidance – but we still have another 24 hours worth of model data to comb through by tomorrow evening to give you a better idea of how this will play out. In short – you know what we're going to say: watch for the changes, maybe not much i

Have had a bit of a break from the action as of late and for most of the rest of this week should be quiet through Friday. However, deep within the recesses of the Weather5280 Slack Channel, four dudes have been eyeing a Front Range Christmas storm potential for days now. Now, there's definitely still a storm present on the models, BUT, the track and timing are still pretty uncertain. Those two factors will be critical in determining if this storm ends up being a travel-disrupting-biggest-stor

About a week and a half ago, we posted about a possible active end to October in our State of the Atmosphere post. Coming just in time, we have a blast of winter weather on the way this weekend. Now, we're not going full-blown bomb cyclone with this thing, but much colder air and some accumulating snowfall is all on the table. But first – let's get through some housekeeping We have a weak system is passing to our southeast Tuesday afternoon

The state of the atmosphere remains very active here to start 2022, with the coming week featuring more snow and bitterly cold temperatures across the Front Range. The upcoming week will also thankfully feature some good mountain snow as well. While last week's system did deliver some snow to the high country, the pattern overall has favored the eastern slope far more than the central and western mountains where sno

February 2020 is the 4th snowiest to date in Denver-Stapleton's record and another snow may accumulate Wednesday across the metro areas and Front Range. Denver International Airport, where official records are kept for Denver, has recorded 10.8” of snow so far this month, which is 3.1" above the average for the entire month of February. Many locations across the metro area have seen much more snow than this to start the month. Our station, located on Denver’s west side, has recorded 22.5” so fa

No doubt your Super Bowl hangover is made a bit tougher with a significant temperature drop, ice, and snow in parts of Northern Colorado by early Monday, with a growing impact during the day. Be careful this morning; ice is already an issue! Reports of freezing drizzle, sleet, and snow received by Monday morning match the forecast we published Sunday giving
