Well, today we saw a dry mild day across
the Front Range in eastern plains for MLK.
Now we are going to continue to
monitor Scotty spotty snow showers.
She's off to the West in the
high country and Western slope,
but we got to 46 degrees in Denver.
We even saw those 50s across the
southeastern corner of the state.
Now right now at DIA,
we're at 42 degrees where it feels like
39 with those winds gusting in from
the Northeast that just around 5 mph.
Now this is what we're really watching for
is going to be this HD Doppler radar and
that's because we have a lot of activity.
Off to the West and all of this
will be making its way eastward,
pushing through Colorado.
So we have several chances for
snow over the next seven days.
The biggest one though,
looking like it's gonna push in late
Tuesday throughout the day Wednesday.
In the meantime though,
we do still have those snow
showers off to the West.
They're going to stay there,
so we are going to stay dry as we go.
Move across the Front Range
and eastern plains tonight.
But as you take a look at some of
the snow falling off to the West
in the high country and in the
southwestern corner of the state,
this is where we're going to watch
for that snow to be a bit heavier.
This evening.
Now because of that we do have
a lot of winter weather alerts.
Most of these will be for Tuesday
into Wednesday.
But the southwestern corner of
the state where we are seeing
that heavier snow tonight,
we do have a separate set of
advisories in a place here.
So we have winter weather advisories and
winter storm warnings further southwest.
Those don't expire or those are in
place now and don't expire until 5:00
o'clock Tuesday or 2:00 AM Wednesday.
The rest of these areas though will be
Tuesday evening through Wednesday evening.
And this does include Denver in
this winter storm warning where the
northern portions of the Front Range.
Eastern Plains can expect anywhere
from around 6 to 11 inches of snowfall
between Tuesday to Wednesday,
those winds gusting around 35 mph.
And then just to the South,
we could see those smaller totals,
but just by a little bit,
4 to 7 in the northern portions
of El Paso County.
Now,
as you take a look at our
futurecast again tonight,
we're going to see that heavier snow across
the southwestern corner of the state.
Overnight,
it starts to lift its way northward
quite a bit,
so by early Tuesday we can still
see heavier snow across the further
southwestern corner of the state.
And it starts to lift all across
the high country.
It doesn't move its way into the Front
Range until the afternoon hours,
maybe about four or five,
six o'clock first,
starting out pretty spotty,
but then take a look at this
overnight between late
night Tuesday and early Wednesday.
It really fills in across northern portions
of the Front Range and eastern plains.
Pretty heavy at times.
And this is a good swath of the state
where we're going to continue to see
that heavier snowfall all the way
through the morning hours of Wednesday,
finally starting to become spottier as
we go into the Wednesday afternoon hours.
Been moving out late Wednesday evening.
So as far as those snow totals are concerned,
most of Denver could see anywhere between,
let's say 4 to 8 inches of snowfall.
Those higher totals will be in the
northern portions of the Front Range
and then in the high country where
we could see over a foot of snow
in some of the mountain ranges.
Now as you take a closer look into the
Front Range snow forecast for tomorrow,
again, most of the Denver metro area
anywhere between 5 to 8 inches of snowfall.
And then we're going to continue to
see those higher totals off to the
Northeast and then off into the West
as we go throughout our Wednesday.
Afternoon before all of that pushes
out late Wednesday.
In the meantime,
we do stay dry tonight across
the eastern half of the state.
Those temperatures in the teens and 20s,
we'll see those teens and 20s
off to the West as well.
We will continue to watch for that
heavier snowfall tonight across the
southwestern corner of the state.
So those temperatures will drop as well.
Of course, with that snow moving in tomorrow,
we'll see those triggers dropping
into the upper 30s.
We're in the lower 30s Wednesday
where the snow sticks around
through most of our heating hours.
We cool, we dry out a little bit.
On Thursday, those temperatures closer to 30.
8 degrees,
but we do have a couple more chances
for snow in the seven day forecast,
one of them being late Thursday technically,
those overnight hours into early Friday.
We dry out a little bit Saturday and then
we have more snow chances as we move
throughout the day Sunday and into Monday.
So we're going to continue to
monitor all of that as we go
over the next couple of days.
Again,
the bigger system is going to
be pushing in late Wednesday or
late Tuesday into Wednesday.
So that's what we're going to
continue to monitor here across
Denver and the rest of the Front
Range and eastern plains.
