They have remained confident in the going forecast of 10-20 inches of snow for Denver. Highest amounts will be in the western and southern suburbs, as well as places north like Boulder County. Can expect rain and drizzle to continue today, with rain turning to snow late tonight into Friday morning.
The Denver Post points out that it could also just "rain a lot".
This storm has the look and feel of the March 2003 blizzard - which I am sure everyone who was in Denver at the time remembers. That storm took a very similar path, and stalled o
ut in southeast Colorado much as this one will - hence the prolonged weather event. As with all Spring snows here in Denver, the system will be pulling moisture up from the Gulf of Mexico as it spins to our southeast providing us with wet, sloppy snow. In 2003 enough cold air was tapped making it all snow, but much like this storm there was the same concern about the temperatures being too warm by a matter for a few degrees. Thus, although the NWS has issued a warning for Denver, we will have to closely watch the temperatures to see how much we snow we can get out of this storm!

Do we get to find out who voted for 0-40 inches? Not much risk there.
