After a solid dump of springtime snow Sunday night, including widespread thundersnow, things will turn quiet for the week ahead with temperatures trending from downright chilly back to t-shirt weather by week’s end. We recap last night’s snowstorm, check the snowfall totals, and detail the Front Range forecast for the next seven days. Let’s dive in!

Last week’s dumping of wet snow in the Front Range occurred three years to the day after our most recent significant snowstorm back in March of 2021. We do a comparative analysis between these two epic mid-March snowstorms, examining their distinct storm tracks, the meteorological factors contributing to their varied snowfall production, and discuss their differing forecast hype. We also explore their respective snow totals and distribution across the Denver Metro area, including a detailed account of how these two snowstorms were able to make Front Range history exactly three years apart despite being so fundamentally different.

The overarching forecast remains on-track this morning as a significant and highly impactful snowstorm bears down on the Front Range. We review a wide gamut of the most recent model data, with trends suggesting a boom scenario is more likely than a bust. Travel will become extremely difficult (and in some areas of the Foothills, impossible) Wednesday night into Thursday night, with some power outages expected. We give our final thoughts on the impressive winter storm about to slam the Denver Metro area. Buckle up and stay safe!
It will be business as usual the first two days of the week with 60-degree temperatures and dry conditions continuing. However, a major storm system will drop south into the Desert Southwest this week, with impacts expected in the Front Range Wednesday through Friday. All signs point to a significant dumping of upslope precipitation in our area from this storm, most of which will fall as heavy wet snow. There’s still a lot of uncertainty in this week’s forecast, but let’s discuss the latest developments in what could be a historic March winter storm for the Denver Metro area.
