A new storm system will drop across far western Colorado Tuesday night, but it’s heading for the deserts of southern Arizona. In the process of bypassing the Front Range, it will bring light snow to the Denver Metro area starting Tuesday night as temperatures tumble below freezing. Intermittent snow showers and flurries will linger through the day Wednesday leading to minor accumulations in Boulder and Denver, but higher totals are favored further south. There is also the potential for a more impactful storm to hit our area on Saturday, but that continues to look more unlikely by the day. Read on for the latest on the chilly and unsettled days ahead.
Updated (Tue 11/5/24 7:00 PM): The higher-end outcomes we touched on in the original post have become more likely give the latest model guidance. Though some snowflakes are already flying, we have amended our snowfall forecast map with a slight increase of 1-2″ across the board for the Metro area. Remember this is a long duration (mostly light) snowfall event, lasting from Tuesday evening at least into Wednesday afternoon. Light snow may continue well into Wednesday night, but this is still uncertain. Forecast snow totals will be reached over time, not immediately.
