Thursday Update: The Front Range Forecast: Warm & Dry // Cold with Snow

Thursday update:

A couple of snow chances return to the Front Range (Figure 1 update).These come with a couple of cold fronts, the first on Thursday, the next on Tuesday.

The first system is smaller short wave in the upper atmosphere and fast moving.  Still, we will see a period of falling snow from roughly 2 to 10 p.m. Friday.  I'm calling for 1-3 inches along and just west of I-25. Locations in the mountains or out on the plains will only see a dusting to an inch.

The next system is more speculative, but the short wave trough behind it is bigger/stronger. There is a potential for some locations to see 4-6" (as it looks now) with most areas getting 2-4".  

Interestingly- we see temperatures up to 15 degrees above normal between the storms. Enjoy that melting. As for the snow- I'll keep you up to date here!
