The secret is out it seems! By now you’ve heard that a major winter storm is heading towards the Front Range. Some weather models are predicting that historic snowfall totals will blanket the area by the end of the upcoming weekend. While forecast confidence is growing, our storm system is still offshore and the main event is still several days away from Colorado. We discuss the latest on the storm, provide details on how the models are trending, and give our (super early) preliminary snowfall forecast.

UPDATE (Wed 3/10/21 7:00AM): The recent rounds of model updates continue to support heavy snow this weekend across the Front Range, however there are a few concerns we have as the storm approaches. We discuss this and more in Wednesday morning’s Premium weather discussion, found HERE.
