We take a quick peek at snowfall totals as of Friday morning, check the latest from the models, and let you know how much snow is still to come.
Following hot on the heels of the snowstorm earlier this week, another round of winter weather is expected Thursday evening into Friday evening across the Front Range. This one however will be a different beast, defined almost exclusively by a long window of scattered jet-forced heavy snow bands. Extreme uncertainty in the exact location and timing of the banding means potential snowfall amounts are not quite known. We discuss the setup and give our thoughts on what is sure to be a difficult forecast to end to the work-week.
Shown below is the BoulderCAST snowfall forecast map issued Sunday (February 2nd) during the afternoon with actual storm totals overlaid in boxes. Green boxes indicate that our forecast verified to within one inch of the observed snowfall. Red did not.

We warm up briefly before another slight chance of snow returns Wednesday evening. Will we break the snowless January? Looking ahead, well above average temperatures are expected for Super Bowl weekend….we’re talking 60’s and maybe even lower 70’s! Read on for all the details.
