Forecast

We have two mild and dry days on deck for Tuesday and Wednesday. Daytime highs will rise into mid-to-upper 30s on Tuesday and into the upper 30s to low 40s on Wednesday.

Our full attention is now on Thanksgiving day as the first of two storms moves into Colorado. Clouds will begin to increase through Thursday morning, ahead of increasing chances for snow showers into Thursday afternoon.

I'll then be watching Thursday evening and into Thursday night for the best chance at accumulating snowfall from storm #1. This storm will lack the strength of storm #2 and it will be moving very fast so our time is limited. Overall, we'll be looking at 1-4 inches through Thursday night.

We'll then catch a break through most of Friday as we await the arrival of storm #2 on Friday. My confidence and excitement continue to grow with this second system as it has all the right ingredients to deliver healthy accumulations beginning on Friday night and continuing into Saturday night.

At this point, look for 5-10 inches through Saturday night and we'll be watching midday Saturday for the heaviest snowfall. Saturday afternoon and/or Sunday morning should be great times to catch fresh turns.

Looking further ahead, our weather will quiet down through the middle of next week but temperatures should remain on the cooler side. Active weather could then be in-store for early December so stay tuned...

Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
