Some helpful tips from the National Weather Service as we prepare for a cold front that’s expected to drop heavy snow in the foothills and mountains. Here’s what you can expect starting Friday: COwx
Temperatures are expected to reach the upper 80s Thursday afternoon, and red flag warnings are in effect for everything east of the Front Range mountains, and most of the southern and southwestern mountains and valleys as well.
— NWS Boulder May 19, 2022 High temperatures will likely fall short of the record of 92 degrees in Denver set in 2020, but there will be high fire danger into the evening hours. The red flag warnings are set to expire at 8 p.m. in the foothills across the eastern plains and 10 p.m. in the Gunnison basin.
All of the metro area, the Palmer Divide and areas of Grand and Park counties are under winter storm warnings, upgraded Thursday afternoon from winter storm watches, with 4-12 inches of snow possible for the storm. Summit County and some of the foothills are also under winter storm warnings for 8-20 inches of snow.
The NWS says a deep upslope flow should develop by the early afternoon which will increase the precipitation in the foothills and Palmer Divide especially. The NWS said if the higher-end snow forecasts hold up, there will likely be damage to trees, most of which have already leafed out across the area, and downed power lines – particularly in the foothills and Palmer Divide, where the snow is likely to be heaviest.A word of caution about this upcoming storm - heavy wet snow will damage trees. Avoid parking underneath them if possible, and avoid walking under heavily snow loaded trees. Images courtesy of @ColoradoStateU. Please RT. #COwx pic.
If snow falls in Denver and at Denver International Airport Friday or Saturday, when temperatures will be closest to freezing and the most moisture will be in the area, it would be among the latest snowfalls in Denver over the past 140 years, according to National Weather Service records.
