All the ingredients are coming together this morning for a cold and dreary Wednesday in the Front Range. We discuss the latest on the approaching storm system and provide a few final details regarding the timing for what should be a widespread bout of light rain and snow today across the area followed by a hard freeze tonight.
Get ready, Colorado! The first snowflakes and a hard freeze of the season are on their way as this dramatic shift in weather across the state continues. Better late than never, right? We discuss when the snow will begin, how much could stick on the grassy surfaces, and when to expect the end to the 2024 growing season as temperatures are sure to plummet below freezing. We’re also tracking another potential snow event early next week. Here’s the latest.
Front Range weather will be tame to start the week with above normal temperatures for our Monday but under extensive wave clouds. However, all eyes are on a developing storm system moving onshore Monday night in California. As the system tracks across the Four Corners and into our area, it will bring the Mountain snowfall, as well as the chance of rain ending as wet snow late Tuesday night into early Wednesday in the Denver Metro area. While the midweek storm will offer a decent chance at our first flakes of the season, amounts are expected to be rather light. We break it all down for you, including the probabilities and our preliminary snowfall map. The first hard freeze of the season is also taking shape for Wednesday night.
