Also some heavier snow than expected across parts of the mountains (always a good thing).

For today another round of rain/snow showers for the mountains primarily from 1pm today through 4am Fri (snow above 9k ft): an additional 1-5" in spots favoring areas near Berthoud, WP, IPW, RMNP, etc.

For Den/Bou a few very weak, high-based storms and rain showers from 3pm-10pm. Best chances east of I-25 on eastern plains. Much of Den/Bou won't get much (not like yesterday).

Update: Also some very strong wind over parts of Den/Bou and the front-range this morning, especially in/near the foothills: seeing reports of wind-gusts of 60-80mph near Boulder this morning. Windy most of today.
