Heavy Snow Falls in Downtown Denver; See How Much Moisture This Colorado Snowstorm Will Bring
Meteorologists expect 3 to 6 inches in the metro, with up to 1.5 inches of liquid precipitation that could help ease drought conditions.
- A spring snowstorm will bring 3 to 9 inches of heavy, wet snow to the Denver metro area and Colorado Front Range from Tuesday night through Wednesday, creating hazardous travel conditions.
- Cold fronts moving into Colorado are driving the precipitation, which National Weather Service meteorologist Russell Danielson described as "exactly what the doctor ordered" for the state's extreme drought, though it will not fully reverse the water deficit.
- Heavy, wet snow risks downing trees and damaging power lines, according to the NWS, and utilities like Xcel Energy have placed 165 employees on standby to address potential outages.
- Travel conditions will become difficult north of Interstate 70 as significant snowfall accumulates, with temperatures dropping to the low-to-mid 20s by Thursday morning, posing a hard freeze risk to vegetation.
- While rare, measurable spring snow in May has occurred before in Denver, with the latest recorded on June 2, 1951; this storm marks the latest measurable spring snow in the metro area since 2022.
