10:03p: Snow mostly north of Denver in a Greeley-Boulder line. Snow will spread south into Denver over the next few hours as better upslope develops. #COwx

2pm at DIA: 75° 10pm at DIA: 35° 40° drop in 8 hours. Denver, Colorado. #COwx #denver

Sleet/light rain in Fort Collins @bianchiweather.bsky.social

And yes I’m now 3 for 3 in 2025 on flights during Denver snow. Insert tinfoil hat here

Off the socials for a few hours. Snow starts in a few hours. Some slush likely by sunrise, snow during the day tomorrow won’t stick much if at all, best chance for metro area accumulation will be tomorrow night. Looks generally lower impact in Denver, focus is on the foothills. #COwx #denver

5:58p: Mixed bag of rain/graupel moving into the northern I-25 corridor. This’ll continue to push south over the next few hours. Snow starts after 9p for most of the Denver area. #COwx

Still gusting up near 45 mph @DENAirport, leading to delays there. Wind will improve tonight. #COwx

2:20pm: Cold front crashing through Denver right now, watch for a plunge in temps and blowing dust over the next 1-2 hours across the metro area: #COwx

53 mph gust @DENAirport as the front moves through

Strap in, Denver...40°+ temp plunge in 6-8 hours tonight! #COwx #denver

Would lean towards generally minor delays at DIA for tonight/tomorrow/Saturday. Mostly de-icing and visibility concerns... #COwx

Foothills/Divide, west metro will have a branch-snapping snow. 6"+ of heavy, wet snow likely here. Shake those trees! #COwx

Nudged up totals. Branch-snapper in the foothills. Denver area below 5500' (most of town): slick spots possible tomorrow AM and tomorrow night, roads mainly wet tomorrow. Foothills will have snow-covered roads most of the day. #COwx #colorado

🎢 Fire and ice: Warm + windy today, with highs in the mid-70s in Denver and 30-40 mph gusts as well. However... A sharp cold front moves through Denver between 4-8p today, dramatically dropping temps and bringing a rain to snow flip tonight. ❄️ Snow all day tomorrow. #COwx #denver

Will have more thoughts on Friday’s slushathon…will likely be adjusting totals in the AM after the 0z runs come in. See you on the tee vee in the morning! #COwx

Flight impacts at DIA should be fairly minimal Thu PM-Sat AM. I’d guess some delays (maybe mostly from wind tomorrow afternoon), but the snow will mostly have a tough time sticking to pavement. #COwx

Denver temps will crash by 40-50° in ~6 hours tomorrow night. We'll go from the mid-70s tomorrow afternoon down to the upper 20s/low 30s before midnight. #COwx #denver

I sincerely hope people who grew up here know how uniquely awesome Denver weather is. Btw- this is gonna be the second time in a week we go from 80° to snow in <36 hours #COwx

79° in Denver right now… …it’ll be snowing in 36 hours #COwx

NEW: Winter Weather Advisory issued for Friday/Saturday AM for the foothills above 6500’, including Evergreen and Bailey. 4-10” of snow likely here. Winter Storm Watch now up for most of the mountains as well. #COwx

It's not just you: This weekend will mark the 5th weekend out of the last 6 with rain/snow on either Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Direct all hate mail to 9NEWS rain-lover @marshallglasses.bsky.social. #COwx

Things that probably won't happen: -Rockies game Fri night -Kiddos' soccer games Saturday AM, maybe Sunday AM too Things that will be messy + unpleasant but probably doable: -Red Rocks Thu/Fri PM -CU spring game Saturday #COwx #denver

First crack at totals. Might be a branch-snapper in the foothills. #COwx

We'll go from the 70s to snow in about 8 hours tomorrow night. Quite the front incoming... #COwx #denver

🌤️ Warm + dry with a high in the upper 70s today in Denver, more than 15° above average. It'll be breezy, with a few afternoon clouds. ❄️ A VERY sharp cold front moves through tomorrow night - we'll go from 70s to snow in a few hours (by Fri AM)! More later this AM. #COwx

Adding CU spring game to this list

Outdoor events this week that officially look very…not fun or cancellable thanks to Momma Nature: 🎶 Red Rocks Thursday + Friday nights ⚾️ Rockies game Friday night ⚽️ Kids’ soccer games Saturday morning 😬😬😬 #COwx

In an update/fundraising email to supporters, Colorado Public Radio CEO Stewart Vanderwilt writes of potential federal cuts to public broadcasting, "This is framed as defunding NPR and PBS, however, the reality is that it will take money from local communities across the country and Colorado."

Modeling trending a bit snowier for Friday for the Denver metro. However, I suspect most of our accumulating snow needs to happen Friday night (limited time window). Still looks lower impact for most of the Denver metro, but a messy 3-6”+ very possible in the foothills. #COwx

Denver gets some slushy snow on Friday, but the foothills could get 3-6"+. Metro totals (including the foothills) will mostly depend on how far north our parent low will go. Mountains get a long-lived 4-10"+ snow event Friday/Saturday. #COwx #denver

Denver weather: 🌡️ It was 86° Saturday ❄️ Snow yesterday AM ☀️ 70s today-Thursday 🌨️ Snow Friday 💐 70° next Monday #COwx #denver

🌤️ Mostly sunny and warmer, with a high in the low 70s with a few afternoon clouds and a very slight chance (20%) at a brief shower west/south of Denver. Most stay dry. 🎢 Even warmer (upper 70s) tomorrow + breezy before a sharp cold front Thursday PM...and snow Friday. #COwx #denver

Doesn’t look like a big snow for most of the metro area, but some snow likely on Friday/Saturday AM. Keeping a closer eye on foothills impacts from this, as usual this time of the year. That’s where 3”+ could fall. #COwx

Snow this morning -> near 80° on Wednesday -> more snow Friday/Saturday (doesn't look like much in town) #COwx

We will rebuild #COwx #denver

April snow showers bring May snow showers #COwx

Literally my favorite thing about Denver weather is this kind of stuff. And yes I'm beyond aware it happens all the time. Never. Gets. Old. #COwx #denver

as predicted, a dusting of snow @bianchiweather.bsky.social love your weather team!!

🌤️ Any last pre-dawn snow showers taper quick, and it's a mainly sunny and mild day with highs right around our mid-April average (average high today: 61°). Light winds today as well. 🌡️ Notably warmer tomorrow-Thursday with only a slight chance for a PM shower Tues/Wed. #COwx #denver

It was 86° just 36 hours ago. #COwx #denver

3:30am: Snow showers moving into Denver, with a slushy coating possible on grassy surfaces. Done by sunrise. #COwx

5:32: Showers and a few rumbles of thunder across the north metro- expect this to slide south behind a cold front over the next few hours. Rain may briefly flip to snow tonight, with little/no accumulation for most. #COwx

🌦️ Increasing clouds and notably cooler, with a high around 70°. We’ll have a chance for showers and a clap of thunder after 3p. Showers tonight could briefly flip to snow overnight, with little/no accumulation for most. 🌤️ Cool (50s) tomorrow before a warmer Tuesday. #COwx

Record broken: 86° so far at DIA breaks the daily record of 85° (2023). This is also the earliest 86°+ on record in Denver - and it’s not even close. Previous record: 4/21/1989. #COwx #denver
