Confidence continues to increase that some of the coldest temperatures of the season will arrive on the Plains Friday and Saturday, with a prolonged period (up to 72 hrs) of below freezing weather likely . The coldest air will be over the area Saturday, with high temperatures staying below 20 degrees along and east of I-25. Light snow looks possible too, though there is considerable uncertainty on the storm track and evolution, making snowfall amounts highly uncertain. Monitor the forecasts closely and prepare accordingly for the cold and the potential for some snow Friday and Saturday. #cowx
Confidence is increasing for widespread light to moderate snow across southern CO Fri-Sat. The probability of heavier amounts (greater than 6") remains confined across the mountains. This will be a dry fluffy snow which will come in several rounds before ending Saturday night from north to south. Monitor the forecasts closely as the details become more clear. Impacts to travel Friday and Saturday will be possible. #cowx
Along with the cold and snow will be bitter cold wind chills, especially Saturday and Sunday. This may be a shock to the system given our very warm winter up to this point. Prepare accordingly. #cowx
