Winter Storm Update: Arctic blast and heavy snow arrive early Wednesday, up to a foot possible in some areas (Updated)

February 21, 2023 / Ben Castellani

A massive and complex storm is set to slam the entire western United States over the next several days. The Front Range will catch the bitter cold and snowy side of the storm with up to a foot of snowfall possible by Wednesday night alongside record-challenging frigid temperatures. We discuss the latest timing of things, just how cold it will get, the most likely snowfall amounts for the area, and the overall impacts expected from the looming winter storm.

Premium Storm Update (2/21/23 7:00PM): After a beautiful time in the 60s Tuesday, things are starting to look more stormy out there as the sun sets behind darkened clouds. It’s hard to believe, but snow will be falling in less than 12 hours in most areas with temperatures dropping into the single digits and teens in a flash! We run through a final check of the models looking at snow amounts, travel impacts and those cold temperatures. READ HERE

The week starts out mild and at times breezy under a split-flow regime aloft combined with downslope flow at the surface. A deep and highly anomalous trough digs across the western US, Colorado, and Great Plains Wednesday and Thursday, bringing snowfall and record cold for late February. Confidence is increasing for several inches of snow to accompany the cold over portions of the Plains Wednesday, primarily from Boulder northward. The Arctic air slowly retreats by week’s end as a ridge in the southeast US builds westward.

It’s blustery out there this afternoon, but at least there is some sunshine. Our approaching winter storm is gearing up back across Nevada right now and it will be spreading widespread snow into the area tonight. Cold temperatures falling into the teens, gusty winds, and persistent light snow will make for slick travel through Wednesday evening. We run through a final check of the models regarding snow amounts, including a discussion of low and high-end potential for this storm and when it will finally wrap up on Wednesday.

This week will begin and end rather mild, but sandwiched in between will be the return of bitter cold temperatures and widespread snowfall.

There will be two chances of snow to contend with this week, but neither will be much of a concern for us. A few flurries or snow showers are possible on Monday as a weak wave passes through. Later on, a stronger trough approaches with a cold front late Wednesday into Thursday, where colder temperatures in the 30s and gusty winds will be the primary impacts. Current indications of this mid-week system favor the better chance of snow in the High Country, but there could be a brief burst of snowflakes across the lower elevations as well. Read on for more details.
