Spring storm threatens up to 2 feet of snow in Colorado’s mountains

Spring Storms Forecasted to Bring Significant Snowfall to Colorado

Colorado is bracing for a series of spring storms that are expected to bring between 1 and 2 feet of snow to the mountains, according to the National Weather Service.

The heaviest snowfall is predicted to occur in elevations above 9,000 feet from Monday night through Tuesday night, with snow tapering off by Wednesday, as reported by NWS forecasters.

While mountain towns above 7,000 feet can also anticipate snowy conditions early in the week, forecasters suggest that the accumulation will be less significant.

NWS snow forecasts indicate that Rocky Mountain National Park and areas near Colorado Springs could see anywhere from 18 to 24 inches of snow.

On the other hand, the Front Range and Eastern Plains are not expected to experience snowfall. Instead, they will face multiple rounds of rain showers and thunderstorms from Monday to Wednesday, according to the Hazardous Weather Outlook.

The first round of rain is forecasted to start in Denver after 11 a.m. on Monday, with showers persisting until approximately 6 p.m. on Wednesday, as per forecasters.

Thunderstorms are most likely to occur across the metro area and Eastern Plains between 1 p.m. on Monday and 11 p.m. on Tuesday, according to forecasters.
