*Winter Weather Advisory*


Things look on track for today's snow storm. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for Denver County, and points west, south, and north of area. The image to the right shows these advisories (click to enlarge).
How much snow can we expect? The forecast calls for 2-4 inches this afternoon/evening, with another 1-2 tonight. We'll see. This system will likely set up similar to Monday's storm. There will be some heavier bands which if they pass over you you'll be closer to the 6 inch totals... and if they don't, you'll be
closer to the 1 or 2 inch totals.

Here's a closer look at today's forecast, and why it looks so promising for snow:

There are three GFS models pulled from Penn State's Meteorological eWall. These models show quite clearly the snow moving through this afternoon, then dropping to our south and east late tonight. Purple is the lightest precipitation, yellow's and oranges the heaviest. The light blue/blue over denver in the middle frame points to a shot a moderate snow!

Still watching a potential storm for Saturday - but will wait to comment on that one for now.

Brendan,

is there any chance that this storm will leave us with 10-30" of snow?
