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

First, a very Happy New Year to you all! It hasn't been the worst start to the winter along the front range, but we certainly haven't seen any storm define this winter thus far, and some locations have fallen well behind their seasonal norms for snowfall to date. That has a chance to change as several waves of low pressure look to speed across the region later this week and next weekend. One of our biggest missing factors so far has been the lack of true cold air. Model data seems like it wa

It's getting harder to ignore the signal for a significant storm to impact the region late this week and weekend. A slow moving system will move into the Southwest United States by mid week and eventually make its way toward Colorado by Friday and the weekend. Increasing support for a significant event Overnight data came into better agreement with how models want to handle this large cutoff low as it moves through late this week. This trend we started to see on Sunday [https://www.weather5280.

Every once in a while it snows a lot in Denver, and on rare occasions, it absolutely gets buried. Denver and areas of the Front Range to the mountains were buried in snowfall 106 years ago. Between December 1 and 5, 1913, Denver received 45.7 inches of snow. Even after more than one hundred years, it remains Denver's largest single snowfall event. The next closest was the blizzard of 2003 when 31.8" of snow was recorded at Denver International Airport, nearly 14 fewer inches than in 1913. Sour

A major snowfall for some areas and significant for others brings the Front Range to a near halt Tuesday morning as snow continues.

We've been begrudgingly keeping an eye on the weather since our last update, just in case anything might change. For Front Range snow lovers, it appears nothing will. Heavy snow and wind will make travel treacherous across the far eastern plains later today, tonight, and Thursday, but for those living along the I-25 urban corridor it looks like yet another non-event in a long list of non-events. Winter Storm Warnings and Advisories extend from northeast New Mexico through the Dakotas and Minnes

Heavy snowfall, more than 3 feet in some places, is headed to Colorado's mountains by Sunday. The activity actually starts Thanksgiving with the arrival of our next system. That system is sitting over the Western US tonight, set to arrive tomorrow. Let's take a look at each day's precipitation totals. This first image is the total from 5 pm Wednesday to 5 pm Thanksgiving. The second is 5 pm Thanksgiving to 5 pm Friday, and so on through Sunday evening. You can see the biggest day for actio

Friday 10/12/2018 update: Weekend Snowfall Forecast Map -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been a great week or so for snow across the high country, with a sharp up-tick in snowpack in recent days, and more snow on the way. So good, in fact, that Wolf Creek Ski Area will open for weekends starting this week

After dealing with record warmth, and serious record warmth at that, it will be nice to deal with something more November-like. While Thursday's storm won't be confused for the Storm of The Century, it will certainly offer some different weather. Here is a look at the upper level pattern from the GFS Model that will support such changes: Thursday AM Upper Level Pattern: Thursday PM Upper Level Pattern: Friday AM Upper Level Pattern: For comparison, here is a look at the upper level patter

Snow and wind moved in to the metro area around midday today bringing another shot of Arctic air and poor visibilities across the Plains. Here are some images captured today across the eastern metro area, and points east of DIA.
