Cold morning across the front-range, some snow for the northern mountains tonight, more snow Fri/Sat

11/26/25 8:45am: Morning, happy Wed before Thanksgiving. Chilly out there this morning with some snow showers moving into the northern mountains.

Denver officially had a low temp of 17 degs, coldest low since March. Was also cold in the mountains with a low temp of 6 degs in Fraser and Walden and 9 degrees in places like Leadville and Silverton this morning.

Also good to see some nice snow totals in the mountains from yesterday's wave. Here are just a few notable totals:

Keystone: 7"
Winter Park: 6"
Loveland: 5"
A-Basin: 4"
Eldora: 2"
Copper: 1"

Anyway, Some more light snow coming to the north-central mountains today and tonight, mostly from 12pm today through 4am Thu. Looks like 1/2" to 4" for some of the ski areas, mountains passes and higher terrain favoring higher parts of Summit Co and also near IPW, RMNP, Cameron Pass and Park Range (north of Steamboat).

Also, there will strong wind over the Front Range mountains today / tonight with northwest wind-gusts of 40-60mph, strongest above 9k ft (less wind for lower elevations and further west of the Divide)

Looking ahead, models like ECMWF still show a nice little snow event on Friday night into Saturday morning (from 10pm Fri to 12pm Sat), with maybe 1-3" for Den/Bou. On the flip-side GFS is showing more downslope flow, less snow (and only Trace-2" for Den/Bou). If ECMWF verifies maybe 3-6" for the foothills as well with 4-8" for the north-central mountains. Uncertainty is high, whats new.

I'll have more later.

First image shows low temps since midnight across the state (minimum temps this morning). Second image shows forecast snowfall from now through 5am Thu from latest NAM-3km model, take with grain of salt (like it won't be > 6" likely in the IPW, etc). Third image shows forecast total snowfall from now through 2pm Sat from latest ECMWF (mostly for the Fri to Sat wave).
