03/09/26 8am: Morning its Monday (feels like its 7am, not 8am lol), just a bit tired 🙂. Anyway, we do have a little bit of weather to talk about.

Models show a short-wave grazing northern CO tomorrow night into Wed morning. This will bring some snow showers to parts of the north-central mountains and a cold-front with a brief round of rain/snow to the front-range (including Den/Bou).

First ahead of the short-wave it will be windy across much of northern CO (mountains and plains) this afternoon and again tomorrow afternoon / evening.

For the north-central mountains for both today and tomorrow (Mon and Tue) windy from 10am-8pm each day: westerly wind-gusts of 30-60mph, strongest over the Front Range mountains along/east of the Cont. Divide.

Then for the northern mountains a chance for light snow / snow-showers from 11pm Tue to 11am Wed: For the Park Range (north of Steamboat) and Medicine Bow Range (upper RMNP to Cameron Pass): 1-3" in a few spots. Further south for the I-70 mountain corridor and local ski areas just a Trace-2" in a few spots (favoring areas near the Cont. Divide).

For Den/Bou/Ft.Collins and the northern front-range. Also turning windy this afternoon: 11am-7pm: westerly wind-gusts of 20-40mph, strongest in/near the foothills from Boulder north to the WY border (closer to Ft. Collins will be favored). Then on Tue turning windy again after 12pm, strong westerly wind-gusts ahead of the cold-front 12pm-8pm.

Then models show a gusty cold-front moving down the front-range with some stronger northwest winds between 9pm Tue to 3am Wed: north / northwest wind-gusts of 30-60 mph in spots.

Also for Den/Bou and the northern front-range a chance for some rain/snow showers as the cold-front and main short-wave pass through, best chances 12am-9am on Wed, won't be much. Best chances for a little bit of wetting rain/snow will be from Ft. Collins north to the WY border and in the northern foothills (Larimer and Boulder counties: 0-1" in a few of those foothills spots), otherwise not much.

Looking ahead back to a big ridge of high pressure for Thu through Sat with dry conditions and very warm temps (high temps near 80 for Den/Bou for the first part of the weekend).

But then models show a potential cold-front impacting northern CO and the front-range this Sun into Mon (03/15 to 03/16) maybe some light accumulating snow for Den/Bou and the foothills by Sun afternoon / evening but uncertainty is high.

Also maybe some light snow for the northern mountains Sun night into Mon, uncertainty is high, so stay tuned.

That is all for now.

First image loop shows forecast wind-gusts over the next 48hrs (6am this morning through 6am Wed) from latest HRRR model. Second image shows forecast precip-type/rate at 12am Wed from latest ECMWF. Image 3 shows forecast total snowfall from now through 12pm Wed from latest ECMWF (take amounts with grain of salt). Fourth image shows the big ridge over the southwest U.S. on Thu afternoon (that will bring warm weather to CO through Sat).
