Well, we had one great last hurrah with the May 11 to 13th snowfall, and we’ll doubtlessly have more snowfalls at the higher elevations from now to mid-June, but with the Eldora Snotel essentially showing the snowpack is hitting 0” at that comparatively low elevation, I think it’s time to wrap up my forecasts for […]

After a week and a half of dull weather, it looks like we have some interesting weather on our horizon.  On Thursday, a large closed low forms over Colorado.  These storms are rather unpredictable (as is evident with the wide distribution of model solutions listed below), and here are the various model forecasts: 16” – […]

With the storm leaving, we’re going to be under a ridge of high pressure until roughly Cinco de Mayo.  Some thunderstorms and thundersnow are possible Monday May 1 to May 4.  Bear in mind that (i) models do an awful job predicting the amount of thundersnow, and (ii) some of this could come down as […]

A system from the north northwest brings snow to our patrol zone on Friday.  There may be a small upslope component to this storm.  The models are still all over the map in the predicted amounts.  Here are the various model forecasts: 8” – American Model 7” – WRF Model 6” – European Model 4” […]

Snow!  The first closed low in a while will be just south of our patrol zone on Tuesday, generating winds from the eastern half of the compass and hopefully a good shot of snow.  The exact location, speed, and shape of the low pressure will make a big difference in how much snow we ultimately […]
