The Front Range will reside directly between two nearby storm systems Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday. Together they will provide a unique atmospheric setup favoring snowfall across mainly the Foothills, but also the western and southern Denver Metro area. Let’s take a look at the interesting setup, timing, and projected snowfall amounts.
As widespread light snow fizzles out Monday morning, we look ahead to an overall unsettled week filled with additional chances for rain and accumulating snow. Our focus in the near-term aims at the potential for convective snow showers Tuesday and Tuesday night. Beyond that, rain/snow will stick with us through the end of the week with temperatures remaining below normal.
A weak trough moved across Colorado on the evening of March 21st producing light to moderate snowfall across the area. Southern portions of the Denver Metro area were hit hardest due to a lingering band of heavier snow along a frontal boundary. Let’s take a look at the totals.
Happy first day of spring, everyone! Alright, now that we got that out of the way….let’s talk about the winter weather that is headed to the Front Range Sunday evening into Monday. A relatively quick moving but vigorous storm system will slide across the Rockies bringing more wet snow to the area. Let’s take a look at the timing and projected snow totals.
There is so much to unpack with this storm, from the moment it caught our eye a week in advance until the last snowflakes were flying, it was one-of-a-kind snowstorm and a true Front Range weather experience. We discuss the forecasting challenges leading up to the event, why many folks lost patience with this storm, and the massive snow totals the system eventually dumped across the Denver Metro area.
After the big winter snow storm over the weekend, the atmosphere takes a much needed breather for most of the coming work week. We are watching another chance of snow Tuesday but amounts will be light at best. More seasonal temperatures arrive by week’s end.
