Winter Weather Advisory for the mountains until 8p tonight. Road impacts mainly at the passes. A few more inches of slushy snow to go for the ski areas.

8:15a: How about it? Actual water falling from the sky in Denver, with some brief bursts of steady rain.

No complaints here!

🌧️ Increasing clouds with a chance for showers and even a few rumbles of thunder after noon. Best chance for rain north of Denver. Much cooler, with a high near 50°. Mountain snow as well.

🌀️ Warmer and drier tomorrow, with highs back in the 60s tomorrow and Thursday.

Some hints of hope from the Euro for at least some Denver snow on Friday. Still lots to resolve, but the Euro/AI/ensembles with at least some hope for some slushy metro area snow. Keeping an eye.

(But no, we’re not getting a foot of snow Friday)

More tomorrow.

Should note that northern Colorado (Fort Collins, Greeley) will likely have cloud cover for the eclipse tomorrow morning. Best odds for mostly clear skies will be further south in/near Denver

Just some early March thunderstorms near Cheyenne. Might see a few of these Fort Collins, maybe near Denver tomorrow…

Today's furcast pet is 3-year-old pit mix Yawni! She's been at @humanecolorado for a while, help please!

Yawni is a playful, fun-loving girl who adores plush toys, tug-of-war and chasing balls. She'd thrive in an active home where she can be her joyful, playful self!

Can't rule out a few Front Range rumbles of thunder tomorrow afternoon...very early for that but seems fitting for this "winter" we've had.

Should have excellent viewing for tonight's total lunar eclipse across the Denver area! 4:33a will be the best viewing time for town.

Mountains will have more cloud cover.

🌑️ Very warm with near-record heat in Denver, with a high of 72Β° today close to our daily record (74Β°, 2022). We’ll have more clouds than sun and breezy, with elevated fire danger.

🌧️ Clouds increase tomorrow with rain showers in Denver, cooler with a high near 50°.

Not a great look for Denver snow on Friday. Trough split + a lack of cold air = wouldn’t get too excited (at least at the moment) about Friday.

Near-record heat tomorrow -> rain Tuesday (not a ton though) -> warmer Wed-Thu -> maybe some snow Friday - warm weekend -> more action next week?

This was Denver's only 2nd snowless February on record, and first since 2009. 3rd-hottest February as well.

Denver finishes with its 2nd-warmest winter on record. Average Dec. 1-Feb. 28 temp of 39.6Β° = hottest winter season in 92 years (1933-34).

Looks like Denver rain on Tuesday, with a better chance for at least some snow Friday/Saturday. Will have more on both later today.

⛅️ Happy meteorological spring! It’ll feel like spring (again) with a high in the low 60s in Denver with more clouds than sun, but touch less wind than yesterday (and lower fire danger).

☁️ Even warmer tomorrow (low 70s) but clouds increase with rain for Tuesday.

🌀️ Happy end to meteorological winter (though it sure didn’t feel like it this year)! Mostly sunny and warm to wrap up February with a high in the upper 60s, and breezy with 20-30 mph winds.

⛅️ A bit cooler tomorrow with a few more clouds, and a high in the low 60s.

Denver's had more 60Β° days this winter than Myrtle Beach. Yes, you read that right.

60-degree days since Dec. 1:

Denver: 40 (average: 12)
Huntsville, AL: 35 (avg: 32)
Nashville: 31 (avg: 24)
Myrtle Beach, SC: 31 (avg: 40)
Charlotte: 26 (avg: 26)

Bonkers.

Denver just hit 60Β° for the 40th time this winter season (since Dec. 1).

That means 45% of our winter days have been 60Β°+.

Also by far Denver’s most 60Β°+ winter days on record. Old record: 34 days, 1980-81.

🌀️ Breezy with high fire danger and a high near 70°(record: 73°, 2006). Winds will gust 20-40 mph, stronger in the foothills. High fire danger today, so please be smart!

🌑️ Similarly warm tomorrow before a cooldown on Sunday/Monday, with a chance for rain on Tuesday.

Today's furcast is a first...a group of unnamed 6-week-to-6-month-old puppies! They're mostly chi terrier mutts, and they're all small. They'll require some work to housetrain, but they're adorable!
