Get ready for soaking rain across the lower elevations, with heavy wet snow in the higher terrain of the Front Range. A powerful spring storm will impact Colorado this week, allowing for a lengthy period of deep upslope infused with Gulf of Mexico moisture.

Thick clouds and precipitation will keep temperatures feeling brisk, but by the end of the week, high pressure will return, ushering in a more seasonal warmth.
