04/02/26 3:20pm: I had a chance to put together a snowfall map for the next, rapidly approaching storm system which will bring a round of moderate snow to the mountains and strong wind to the northern front-range. I'll let the map mostly speak for itself.

For the north-central mountains the next round of snow will be from 9pm tonight through 9am tomorrow with snow showers lingering over the higher terrain through 9pm Fri.

Generally 2-7" for the local ski areas, I-70 mountain corridor (higher terrain). With highest amounts locally west of Vail Pass (near Gore) and also closer to RMNP and Cameron Pass.

Overall heaviest snow amounts will be in the Park Range (near/north of Steamboat ski area, Rabbit Ears and the Flat Tops): 6-12" for those areas

The other big story will be the wind, strong wind expected tomorrow for both the mountains and front-range.

With the strong downslope flow expected for the front-range, unfortunately we won't get any rain/snow in Den/Bou just wind. Maybe a few rain/snow showers as the main trough passes through tomorrow morning (won't be much).

It will however get near/below freezing (low of 30-32) on Fri night into Sat morning, so protect sensitive plants (I have some lettuce growing already in my garden).

For the Front Range mountains, foothills and urban corridor including Den/Bou, strong wind expected from 9am-6pm tomorrow with west/northwest wind-gusts of 40-80 mph, strongest in the northern foothills of Boulder and Larimer counties above 8k ft, thing Peak to Peak Hwy.

Also strong wind across the northern mountains tomorrow: 8am-8pm, westerly wind-gusts of 30-60 mph, strongest from Summit Co north and east.

That's all for now.

First image my snowfall map through 9pm Fri. Image 2 and 3 compare forecast total snowfall from now through 12am Sat from very latest 18z HRRR and RRFS models, take amounts with a grain of salt. Fourth image shows forecast wind-gusts at 12pm tomorrow from latest HRRR.
