April 11, 2022 / Andy

A strong storm system in the Pacific Northwest will intensify as it moves into the upper Great Plains and into Minnesota by midweek. This system will create periods of gusty winds, fire weather concerns, and frequent temperature swings for the Front Range, as well as heavy snowfall for the High Country. The same system may bring a few rain/snow showers Tuesday into Wednesday to the Denver Metro area, but these won’t amount to much. Read on for more details.

We start the week with near-record warmth with some locations reaching the lower 80s on Monday. That warmth vacates quickly come Tuesday with a strong storm system and associated cold front moving through. Rain and some thunder will change to wet snow Tuesday night.
