Mountain regions received more significant snowfall, ranging from 3 to 6 inches. Some higher mountain passes saw between 6 to 8 inches. Notably, this marks the second-latest measurable snowfall on record, with the only later date occurring in December 2021.
Weather Forecast
Snowfall tapered off early Saturday morning, but colder temperatures are expected to linger. High temperatures along the Front Range will hover around freezing, while mountain towns may experience slightly warmer conditions, reaching the 30s and 40s.
- Saturday Night: Metro area lows in single digits and teens.
- Sunday: Expected highs in upper 20s to low 30s.
- Mountain snow will return Sunday morning, lasting throughout the day.
- Expected snowfall in the mountains: A couple of inches.
- Potential light flurries could reach the metro area and plains by Sunday evening.
Any precipitation that occurs in the metro area is likely to be light. However, due to the existing cold temperatures, any snowfall may create icy conditions on the roads for Monday morning commuters.
The chilly weather is forecasted to persist into the upcoming workweek. Residents are advised to bundle up and ensure that children are warmly dressed while waiting for the school bus.
