Winter Weather Update: Our first official spring snow is on the way Sunday with afternoon thunderstorms changing over to snow by evening (Updated)

After a lengthy stretch of relatively quiet weather this past week as we officially transitioned from winter to spring, things are set to change on Sunday as a quick-moving storm system races into Colorado from the west with rain, hail, and thunder Sunday afternoon transitioning to heavy snow by Sunday evening.
