Forecast Update: A super-soaker storm will slam the Front Range this weekend, up to 4 inches of rainfall and 2 feet of snow possible

A developing Four Corners low pressure system will move across southern Colorado this weekend producing a prolonged period of moist upslope flow into the Front Range. While temperatures will (fortunately) be too warm for snowfall across the lower elevations, anywhere from 1 to 4″ of rainfall is expected to dump on our area. Where temperatures are colder, the higher Foothills and Mountains could see over 2 feet of snow from this system as well. Here’s our latest thoughts on the incoming soggy rain (snow) storm!
