Beautiful today... Then SNOW!

Things are about to get real interesting around here, and in a hurry. After a picture perfect day today with highs in the low 70s, the bottom will drop tomorrow as cold airmass from Canada dips south during the day bringing Denver a good chance of snow tomorrow afternoon and evening. Although chances are "likely," the NWS thinks accumulations will be light. Just in case the forecast falls apart and it does not snow tomorrow night, we have another decent chance for snow from Friday night through Saturday. Saturday's highs will likely not break the 40 degree mark.

Denver's average first snowfall is October 19th... Looks like this year that could come early. Stay tuned as details for accumulations, temperatures, and timing will continue to get worked out!

Big Changes Brewing

While the first day of Fall is not officially until Tuesday, Monday will feel more like Fall than Summer. Over the last several days forecasters have continued to lower the expected highs on Monday as they continue to tweak the forecast details. As it stands, it looks like we will struggle to make it out of the 50s, and lows will dip into the upper 30s for the first time in quite awhile. Clouds and rain are also looking likely for Monday - but it remains unclear how long the soggy weather will stick around as some models have the low moving through much fast than others. From Monday on there is a general warming trend, the exact track of the low will determine how quickly this occurs. At this point it does not appear that 80s will be returning any time next week.

It shouldn't get cold enough for snow here in Denver. Travel 20 miles west and that could be a completely different story. Looks like this cold front will bring the first blast of winter weather for the Mountains and even some foothill locations.
