🌤️ Mostly sunny to start and warm once again, with a high near 70° in Denver. Clouds increase this afternoon and it'll turn breezy as well, with 20-30 mph gusts in Denver and 40-50 mph gusts in the foothills.
🌡️ A cold front tonight will drop temps to the 50s tomorrow.

Today's furcast pet is 7-year-old border collie mix Hazel! She's timid at first, but blossoming with trust and confidence. Hazel loves walks, her people, and showing pure joy when she’s with them. Her dream home is a patient, loving adopter.

Congrats, Denver: This officially won't be our least snowy winter on record.
After 8.5" of snow on Friday at DIA, Denver is now 0.6" ahead of our least snowy winter on record (1888-89, 21.3").
Yay.

@ksutpublicradio.bsky.social Our biggest weather story this week will probably be fire danger on Thursday and Saturday, with 60-80 mph foothills winds possible.
#COwx
It's 71° in Denver right now...just a reminder we got a half-foot of snow 3 days ago.
#COwx
we had a nice 3-4 weeks of slightly above average mountain snow, but that appears over now, unfortunately.

Honestly, not sure I want to know what these numbers are going to look like in a few weeks.
Realistic possibility this is our lowest snowpack peak/earliest melt on record (38 years), based on the outlook for the rest of March.
Still early to talk about summer, but obviously this isn't good.
Prescribed burn at Rocky Mountain Arsenal today...that's the plume of smoke many of you are seeing.

I still think it’s too early, but obviously it’s a concern

Whitmer's office calls for probe into why weather service didn't issue tornado watch. Whitmer's office questioned whether the lack of a tornado watch alert could be attributed to funding cutbacks at the National Weather Service.
Map showing progression of tornado warnings across southern Michigan, including a warning for Union City.
First, the funding cutbacks at NWS did not contribute to a lack of a tornado watch.
Second, all of southern Lower Michigan was in a 2% tornado risk area for every outlook on Friday.
Third, I'd be more concerned if they didn't issue a tornado warning, but warnings were in place.
Denver’s got a better chance of hitting 80° than getting snow over the next two weeks. Yikes.

🌡️ Mostly sunny and warmer with a high near 70° in Denver (record: 77°, 1989), and a bit breezier with 20-30 mph gusts in the afternoon.
🌤️ Similar tomorrow but less windy, before a brief cooldown on Wednesday. No meaningful rain or snow chances this week.
#COwx
Happy first 7p sunset of 2026, Denver! We’ll have 7p or later sunsets until September 20th.
#COwx
🌤️ Goodbye, snow: Mostly sunny and warmer than yesterday, with highs spiking into the low 60s in Denver with a few more clouds than yesterday.
🌡️ Even warmer tomorrow with a high near 70° and turning breezy as well, before a chance for rain showers Tuesday night.

Yes, Denver got more snow than expected yesterday. But:
1) Most important: it was a low-impact 'miss'. The snow (as expected) was entirely on colder surfaces. It didn't shut down traffic.
2) Saying Denver is going to get 14" of snow 8 days out is still reckless. That doesn't change.
8.5" total snow yesterday in Denver (DIA) = officially Denver's snowiest day since Nov. 8, 2024 (484 days ago). I definitely did not think we'd get nearly that much yesterday.
Downtown got 5-6" on colder surfaces...it'll be mostly melted off by 6p.
#COwx
☀️ After a cold start with some black ice, it'll warm up nicely with a high near 50° in Denver, right around average for this time of the year. Winds stay mainly light.
🌡️ Much warmer tomorrow (low 60s) and Monday (near 70°) and dry in Denver.
#COwx
No doubt today's storm brought more snow than expected. Upper low tracked a bit south and stronger, and slightly earlier cold front arrival kept us closer to freezing.
Always lessons to learn, and thrilled it was 1) lower impact (wet roads in town) and 2) good moisture!

A deck with a bbq, table and chairs covered with fresh snow
Conifer checking in at 7.5” on the deck as well!

It's officially Denver's biggest snowstorm so far this winter - 7.5" at DIA = top snow of the season. Some of that has already melted, though.
Worth noting downtown got closer to 4-5". Solid storm nonetheless!
#COwx
Might be the best storm so far this season for the Summit County mountains/Eldora/Winter Park. Looks like basically everyone there got a footer, and it's not done yet!
#COwx
Watch for black ice tonight and tomorrow morning, Denver metro.
#COwx
Just a reminder it was 70° yesterday and it'll be 70° again on Monday.
#COwx
More water today in Denver than the previous 55 days combined. Wettest day in 6+ months. And we're not done yet.
Let's go.

Report from Penny’s mom: one corgi leg of snow, Penny refusing to come indoors. Laying in the snow like she’s on South Beach.
#COwx
Near-whiteout at the tunnels right now...
#COwx
2:40p: Surface low intensifying over southeastern Colorado = winds are picking up over eastern Colorado.
Accumulating snow in Denver is mostly done below 6k feet. Steady snow/impacts above 6k in the foothills + mountains for the rest of today.
Denver snow ends 6-9p.
