Anyway, the last part of the storm system is going to move trough today, but its not looking great for much rain for Den/Bou, as the focus on the front-range looks to be further north (Ft. Collins through Cheyenne).

For Den/Bou/Ft.Collins and the northern front-range a chance for some rain showers mostly from 6pm Sun through 9am Mon. Best coverage from Loveland / Ft. Collins areas north through Cheyenne, WY. Probably very little for Denver proper unfortunately.

For the north-central mountains another round of snow, mostly above 9k ft from 6pm Sun through 6am Mon: 1-4" of additional snow accum favoring IPW, RMNP and Cameron Pass areas.

A bit more rain/snow for south-central CO as well (still raining and snowing down in the San Juans this morning). But another round mostly from 3pm today to 3am Mon. 2-6" of snow above 9500ft in spots (favoring areas near Wolf Creek).

That's all for now.

How much rain or snow did you get yesterday?

Lastly, Go Broncos!!
