Warmer weather on the way

A beautiful Sunday will be followed by more warm Spring weather Monday. By midweek showers and cooler weather will be back in the forecast, but it shouldn't be the snowy system that most of us saw last week. The unsettled weather will be short-lived as by Friday temps could reach 80 degrees for the first time this year!

Heaviest snow should stay north

The storm track has been trending ever more favorable for Denver over the last day, meaning the low is expected to track a bit further north than once feared which should spare Denver the heavy, damaging snow. Some uncertainty does remain, however, so we are not in the clear quite yet. Even with the more northerly track we will likely see rain mixed with snow tonight and will even see a chance at some accumulation. The foothills and northern mountains on the other hand can brace themselves for 12 to 30 inches of snow.

I'll let you know if anything significant chance in the next hours! Stay warm (and dry)!

Springtime in the Rockies

Well folks, hope you enjoyed a beautiful Mother's Day today as our summer sneak-peak appears to be short-lived. Some pretty wild forecasts are getting thrown around for an approaching storm system due in midweek. Many foothill locations (Castle Rock, Genesee, Evergreen) have already been placed under a winter storm watch where upwards of 18 inches of snow is expected. For Denver, the forecast remains very uncertain. We can all hope that temperatures will stay warm enough Tuesday night keep us as all rain, but the potential exists for rain to turn to snow and for the city to see a wet whopping of snow.

There are about seven months a year that I would be SUPER pumped right about now. May is not one of them. In the last week trees have leafed like "woah" --- and the potential for a heavy, wet snow means we should brace for quite some damage. With that, break out the shovels and the brooms... and hope for rain!
