\"WinterUpdated 4\/10 @ 3:50pm<\/strong> – Another pretty typical spring snowstorm has come and gone.\u00a0 In a span of a bit more than 24 hours we go from sunny, 60 degree temperatures to rain with thunderstorms to snow and near blizzard conditions.\u00a0 You have to love Colorado weather!\u00a0 Here in Thornton we measured 2.8″ of very wet snow.\u00a0 Some of the other area totals:<\/p>\n

Denver – 2.5 inches
\nFort Morgan – 2.4 inches
\nGreely – 4.0 inches
\nGreenwood Village – 6.0 inches
\nHighlands Ranch – 4.0 inches
\nParker – 6.7 inches
\nWheat Ridge – 1.0 inches<\/p>\n

A chance of snow showers remains in the forecast through Friday night but the weekend is looking great with at or above normal temperatures.<\/p>\n

Updated 4\/10 @ 6:00am<\/strong> – Definitely a wet one out there!\u00a0 The rain started around 8:00pm in Thornton last night and we saw 0.2″ of rain before midnight.\u00a0 After tapering off, the snow started falling before 4:00am and it is coming down pretty good now but thanks to the warm ground, not much is sticking to the roads although they are very<\/u> wet.\u00a0 The Snow & Blowing Snow Advisory<\/a> remains in effect until 6:00pm tonight primarily because of the winds we are seeing.\u00a0 Northeastern Colorado is going to bear the brunt of the storm so if you are heading that way on I-76, be prepared.\u00a0 In Thornton we will probably only see an inch or two of snow during the day today.\u00a0<\/p>\n

April 08, 2008 @ 17:08 – Winter Storm Watch Issued – A Big One Coming?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A big one or a big dud – that is the question.\u00a0 The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch<\/a> for most of northeastern Colorado and much of the mountain areas which goes into effect Wednesday night.\u00a0 The weather patterns are very dynamic right now and it is tough to say exactly what is going to happen; as always, a lot depends on what track the storm takes.\u00a0 Travel will almost certainly be impacted but it is a matter of where that impact will occur that is the question.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0At the current time the earliest we would expect precipitation along the Front Range is mid-day Wednesday.\u00a0 Assuming the upslope conditions setup as it looks like they will, things will start with a rain and snow mix and then turn to all snow by Thursday morning.\u00a0 Snow totals from 3 to 8 inches are currently projected.\u00a0 As the storm approaches we will know more about how this will all set up.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Remember – A\u00a0winter storm watch means there is a potential for a hazardous winter weather event in and close to the watch area.\u00a0 Significant snow accumulations may occur that could impact travel.\u00a0 Stay tuned to ThorntonWeather.com, the National Weather Service or your local news media for the latest updates and possible warning concerning this potential winter storm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
