Final Forecast: A slowing storm will lend to sizable snow totals

January 20, 2018 / Ben Castellani

STORM UPDATE (Sunday 9:00 AM): Totals through 9:00AM are 3-5″ across the Plains and 4-6″ in the Foothills. Everything looks on track. Snowfall rates will be heaviest before noon today (up to 3/4″ per hour), with snow tapering off this afternoon from northwest to southeast as winds shift to downslope. Additional accumulations of 1-4″ are possible.

The impending winter storm is tracking slightly slower than the weather models were advertising yesterday. The impacts are good, if you like snow that is! We provide our final forecast, including timing, impacts, and our snowfall forecast map!

This changes tonight as the cold front pushes back south and west along with some moisture to bring light snow to everyone. Read on to find out the exact timing and snowfall amounts.
