Off and on bands of light to moderate snow are expected to last into the evening.
After the snow bands come to an end, scattered pockets of flurries and light showers could persist well into the night, especially in the mountains.
Accumulations are tough to nail down today because of a few factors. The first is the banded nature of this snowfall. If bands develop and don’t move then we’ll see some higher totals. But overall in the Denver metro area most places have the chance to see an additional 2 to 4 inches of snow in addition to what fell in the band last night.
The second factor that makes predicting snow totals tough in the month of March is the longer days and higher sun angle, which can result in some melting. Even though it will be cloudy all day the sun’s shortwave energy will still get through the clouds and to the ground. Dark surfaces, such as paved roadways, benefit from this energy.
The Monday morning drive could be slow and slick for many around the state. Areas of snow will linger in the mountains on Monday and we could even see some convective snow showers by Monday afternoon due to daytime heating. Drier and warmer weather should settled into the state for Tuesday and the first half of Wednesday before the next storm arrives. Right now it looks like that will not only bring more snow but also some arctic air. A few computer models say Denver and the northeast plains could see record cold by Thursday night and Friday morning with temperatures falling to or even below zero.
