Confidence is increasing that some of the coldest temperatures of the season will arrive Friday and Saturday, though how cold is still in question. Latest trends point to a 70-90% chance of temperatures remaining below freezing across the southeast CO plains both days, with a 30-50% chance for high temperatures remaining below 20 degrees on Saturday. Odds for low temperatures below 10 degrees are 60 to 70% for Sat and Sun mornings. Light snow looks possible too, though there is considerable uncertainty on the storm track and evolution, making snowfall amounts highly uncertain. Depending on how the systems evolve, temperatures could be colder and snow could become more likely. Monitor the forecasts closely and prepare accordingly for the cold and the potential for some snow Friday and Saturday. #cowx
