One more day with cooler than normal temperatures although not by a whole lot. Conditions will be dry but we will have some breezy PM winds.

We start out with some cloud cover then mostly sunny skies take over for most of the day. Winds will be breezy this afternoon with high temperatures reaching the low 50s.

Tonight, skies will be partly cloudy. Lows will dip to the mid to upper 20s.

One more day with cooler than normal mercury readings for Thornton. We will have some sun initially then late afternoon / evening bring just a chance for some snowflakes.

Mostly sunny skies start us off and will continue until mid to late afternoon. Overall, conditions will be calm during this time. High temperatures will top out in the mid-40s.

By about 2:00pm, cloud cover will increase and we begin to see some chances for snow. Those will continue until about midnight. Minimal, if any at all, accumulation is expected.

Tonight, once any snow ends, skies will remain partly clear. Lows will dip to the mid-20s.

A quick return to wintry weather for us with 4.1 inches of snow on the ground as of 4:00am. Snow is already tapering off but we will remain cold and winds will be blustery.

Some light snow will be possible until about 8:00am then come to an end. Minimal, if any, additional accumulation is expected. Roads were snow packed and icy so please allow extra time this morning and be careful.

We may see a little break in the clouds as the day progresses. Temperatures will remain cold with highs only in the mid to upper 30s. More notable is the blustery winds with gusts to 30 mph that will be with us most of the day.

Tonight, winds will ease and the skies will see some clearing. Overnight lows will be in the mid to upper teens.

Given the beautiful start to the three day period, it will be hard to complain about the way it ends. We can certainly use the moisture that is to come.

Friday offers up conditions much like we have seen the last couple of days. We will enjoy sunny skies with temps in the low to mid-60s. Tonight, cloud cover will increase and lows will dip to the mid-30s.

Saturday will see a few more clouds but will be the warmest day of the period. Look for highs in the mid to upper 60s under mostly sunny skies. Saturday night, cloud cover will again increase. Lows will be in the mid-30s.

Sunday, a system moves in and cools us down and should get us wet. The morning will offer only a slight chance for showers then they will become more widespread and stronger in the afternoon. Sunday night, depending on how quick temperatures drop, we may see some snow. At this time, it doesn’t look like it will amount to much. Maybe an inch or two by Monday morning.

Have a great weekend!

That’s a wrap on our Pi Day storm. Thornton had a two day total of 10.8 inches of heavy, wet snow. Certainly, there were the haves and have-nots with some folks not far from Thornton Weather HQ receiving much less.

For Friday, we may see a few more flakes early but then snow will end and we will see a little bit of sun. High temperatures will top out around 39 degrees. Tonight, fog is expected to develop with partly clear skies. Lows will dip to the low to mid-20s.

Going to bed last night we were a bit worried about the changeover from rain to snow but it did occur. We will now see the snow continue through the day with conditions deteriorating.

Last night we received 0.65 inches of rainfall before the transition. Now, as of this writing, we have 2.4 inches of snow on the ground with light to moderate showers ongoing.

Snow will continue throughout the day with, perhaps, a bit of a lull this morning, then picking back up in the afternoon and evening. After midnight, things will begin to taper off.

The Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 6:00am Friday with the National Weather Service calling for 10 to 18 inches for the Denver metro area. We continue to think 8 to 12 inches is likely for Thornton by the time this is done tomorrow morning.

Obviously, you should not venture out unless you truly need to. Better to stay safe and indoors. Travel will be hazardous, and the snow may cause some power outages and property damage.

We’ll have more updates throughout the day but our Winter Weather Briefing Page is your one-stop shop for the latest.
