Rest of the weekend... Seasonably warm temperatures in Denver; snow showers and light to moderate accumulations in the mountains Saturday night... good late season skiing conditions. Then, attention shifts to the big spring storm heading our way on Monday...
Strong low pressure system moves across Southern Colorado on Monday. With warm temperatures ahead of the system, thunderstorms will fire up across the Eastern Plains on Monday afternoon, including the Denver metro area, with severe storms possible in far eastern Colorado.
Monday night, precipitation begins across the Front Range as a sharp cold front moves through... 1-2 feet of snow will be possible in the foothills above 7,000 ft. Rain will change to snow overnight in the Denver area... with colder air filtering in along with a lack of sun during the nighttime hours... several inches of snow will likely fall in the city. Temperatures on Tuesday will be 30 degrees colder than on Monday.
Behind the main system... steady, moist northwest flow could bring a 2-3 day cycle of snow for the northern and central mountains, which would create awesome late season skiing conditions.
There is still some disagreement with models on the exact storm track, so a slight shift in the storm track could change things up a bit. Stay tuned...
