Wild, Wild West

Another potent storm is working its way into Colorado this morning. The mountains will finally get their first good snowfall for the year with several areas in the southwest expected to receive 1-3 of the white stuff! The way the system is coming across is not favorable for a heavy snow in Denver, but the National Weather Service is suggesting we may reach advisory criteria later this evening and tomorrow.
Today: 50% chance of snow... and cold. Similar to yesterday with highs hovering in the mid teens.
Tonight: A good chance of snow, total accumulation 2-4 inches.
Tomorrow: A good chance of snow, especially in the morning, additional accumulation of 3-5 inches possible. Highs in the teens and falling through the day.
Check back later as the snow total forecast is likely to change, especially if they end up issuing a winter storm advisory at some point today.
Here are three images from the wild weather in the region. The first shows the approaching storm that is dumping rain and snow in the southwest, with snow just now working its way into Colorado. The second shows the extreme cold we are dealing with today and tomorrow... and the third shows the watching and warnings for the U.S. Notice the pinks and reds west and east of Denver, and nothing over Denver... hopefully this will change in the next few hours!
