National Weather Service Watches and Warnings - Denver/Boulder Forecast Area
I wanted to give a brief update before I write a longer post later today. The weekend winter storm is a tough forecast, but it's actually looking a bit stronger as of today than what I indicated yesterday. The duration of the storm still isn't going to be that long, but it will be powerful, with heavy snow likely in the Front Range metro area throughout the day Saturday. The NWS Winter Storm Warning for Denver is calling for 8-14" in the city and 10-24" in the mountains and foothills east of the Continental Divide. In addition, a blizzard warning is in effect for the northeastern Plains with 10-15" of snow and 40 mph wind gusts expected. While not the "epic storm" that models hinted at earlier in the week, this is going to be a major storm nonetheless, and Saturday will be a good day to stay off of the roads. More in-depth update coming a little later...
