This Mother’s Day will not be forgotten! With the upper-level storm system now pulling northeast away from Colorado, and thousands of residents in the Metro area still without power, let’s take a look at the storm totals for Boulder County for the 4-day period beginning Wednesday morning.
It is clear Mother Nature wants to make this year’s Mother’s Day weekend one to remember. From flooding rains, to severe storms, and snow, this weekend will have it all! With the upper-level low about to enter Colorado, the picture the models are painting is now coming into focus. Read on to find out the impacts for your area.
Soggy conditions have lingered across the Front Range for more than a week now, bringing measurable precipitation to most of Boulder County each day in May. This trend will continue through the weekend, as we track a developing surface low that will bring the possibility of accumulating snow on the Plains Saturday night into Mother’s Day.
The first full week of May looks to be rather unsettled, as a series of upper-level low pressure systems advance through Colorado. The first pushes in from the southwest on Tue/Wed, while a more potent storm system comes in from the west, affecting the forecast for the latter half of the week, including the University of Colorado’s Commencement.
The storm is beginning to ramp up across our region, though it is now following a slightly more southern track. How will this impact the forecast?
Another potent cut-off low is eying the region once again, bringing much-needed rain and snow Sunday into Tuesday.
