Late Week Snow Looking More Likely for Lower Elevations

Snow looks more likely to develop over areas east of the mountains in Colorado on Friday.

Friday afternoon into Friday night snow is looking more likely for #Denver, #ColoradoSprings, the foothills and the Palmer Divide.

The second storm of the week is colder than the first one. Temperatures in the mid-levels of that atmosphere at about 10,000′ drop very quick on Friday. From about 36° as the day begins to 12° by dinner. That drop and those numbers would get snowflakes going, even in the heart of Colorado Springs, Friday afternoon.

I’m showing you this for two reasons: 1) the trends over the last 48 hours have been looking more and more favorable. 2) It’s been awhile and it will be a shock to the system.

Experience matters. Detail matters. The communication about the probabilities and different weather experienced over small distances because of terrain is what @peaks2plainsweather is all about.
