Winter Weather Update: A slow-moving, upslope-infused winter storm arrives late Thursday with several inches of snow up for grabs (Updated)

March 6, 2024 / Ben Castellani

After a long, quiet stretch following last week’s snow squall, winter weather will return to the Front Range as a slow-moving but ultimately weak storm system impacts the area to end the work week. We discuss the long-duration of weak upslope about to unfold, the potential snowfall amounts across the area, and when travel will become slick.

Update (Thursday 3/7/24 7:00AM): We’ve now concerned that heavy snow the far eastern areas of Colorado on Thursday will reduce the amount of upslope/moisture that make it back westward into the Front Range. We’ve seen models trend downward in snow amounts slightly for our entire area, especially east of I-25. Thus, we’ve scaled back snow amounts slightly for the region. Please check our updated snowfall map, model forecast graphics, and storm impact timeline throughout this post. We talk about this last-minute shift and much more in Thursday morning’s Premium discussion HERE.

This Week in Colorado Weather: February 26, 2024

February 26, 2024 / Ben Castellani

The upcoming week will offer what we consider classic Front Range springtime weather with high fire danger Monday preceding a snowy system on Tuesday. Latest model guidance keeps amounts on the light side for the Metro area, but the Mountains will see heavy snow, strong winds and dangerous travel. Things turn quiet for the second half of the week, but another storm system is expected to bring more snow for the upcoming weekend. Let’s take a look.
