Summer's Last Hurrah?

Snow may finally fly across the metro area this week. After flirting with record highs across Colorado on Saturday, most locations in the state are in for a big change coming as soon as Monday. Denver should sneak in one more beautiful day to start the week, but will see a chance of snow and cooler temps by Tuesday. Thursday looks to bring the best chance for measurable precip to the area as highs are expected to hold in the 30s with the passage of a stronger cold front. The National Weather Service warns that there is still plenty of uncertainty with this system, and depending on the model we could be too far north for the best snow or on target for things could get interesting around here. With the system still several days out there is plenty of time to work out the details.

One thing is for sure, it won't be 80 degrees any time soon as it looks like we are in for an extended period of unsettled weather. Highs are expected to stay at or below seasonal norms for the period, with lows possibly dipping into this teens this weekend.

In for a doozy of a storm!

Snow has moved in, and with any luck at all it is here to stay for a few hours. Snowfall forecasts range from 5 to 20 inches depending on who you talk to... it really is just a wait and see. Provided the winds do not shift a little more northerly after midnight, we should be on the upper end of the snowfall forecasts with snow continuing into the day tomorrow. If they do shift, the heavier snow will move into the southern suburbs and Monument hill area - cutting our flow off early.

Already an inch and counting up here... We'll see!
