A potent atmospheric river event is ongoing across the southwestern United States right now including portions of western Colorado. After our warmest day in more than four months on Wednesday, this moist system will enter the picture for the Front Range Wednesday night with rain changing to snow across the Plains and Foothills as a cold front slides through. Though the best upslope will be south and southwest of Denver with this event, most everyone will see snowflakes amounting to a several inches in some places and just a dusting in others.
