and yes i'm tweeting away my nuggets nerves

Best rain chance for Denver probably comes on Sunday. Wouldn't rule out a bit of slushy snow in/near Denver.

Not looking at any all day washouts, more like daily afternoon shower chances. But again, Sunday looks soggiest/coldest.

Fire Weather Warning issued for Denver and most of eastern Colorado for Wednesday.

Strongest winds/highest fire concern will be SE Colorado, but Denver/NE Colorado 40-50 mph gusts = rapid fire spread potential as well.

Be smart on Wednesday in particular, Colorado.

Today's furcast pets are bonded pair Scarlett (pictured) and Sida Bay! These girls have a genuine affection for both people and other dogs. They greet every human and canine with friendly body language and consider everyone a new friend.

Northern Front Range foothills will probably see some shutoffs Wed PM/Thu AM also.

🌡️ Even warmer tomorrow (low 80s), before a concerning fire weather setup for Wednesday with strong 40+ mph winds.

#COwx

Concerning fire weather setup for Wednesday for eastern Colorado/Denver area. 40-60 mph gusts possible, and very dry and warm.

Unusually early Fire Weather Watch up for southern Colorado already. More info as it gets closer.

#COwx

🌤️ Mostly sunny and way warmer than yesterday, with a high in the low 70s in Denver and lighter winds compared to yesterday.

🌡️ Even warmer tomorrow with highs near 80° tomorrow and Tuesday. Dry in Denver until at least Thursday.

#COwx

Tricky setup for the 6-10 day window, but safe to say it looks active. Potential is there for some drought relief *if* the storm track can stay a bit south.

And Denver may not be done with snow yet. As always, patience, and careful with hype/automated app solutions.

#COwx

General 1-4” of metro area snow yesterday, all on colder surfaces.

#COwx

🥶 After a frigid start this morning with a low temp near 20° in Denver, we’ll rebound into the mid-50s with lots of sunshine and an afternoon 20-30 mph breeze in Denver.

🌡️ Warmer tomorrow and Monday with highs in the 70s and dry both days.

High profile 2026 Denver sporting events 🤝 the only time it ever snows in Denver

Official total of 3.4” at DIA so far (maybe a touch more to go).

That makes this Denver’s snowiest April day since 2021!

Closing in on a full Corgi Leg of Snow in Denver.

Penny couldn’t be happier.

Temps down to 30° at DIA and really starting to come down. Vis prob closer to 1/2 mile now.

Gonna be delays (myself included) for deicing. Big thanks to the hard working folks on the tarmac.

Ruler showing 2” of snow

Not bad, over performing forecasts. @bianchiweather.bsky.social central Fort Collins Drake and Meadowlark

Fort Collins checking in

Conifer checking in!

A snowy scene with trees and a corral fence post. You can see a few red wing black birds.

We are getting way more than predicted north of Longmont. It will help assuage my anguish over losing so many of my flowering plants to the freeze. #COwx #Colorado

Just a friendly reminder it was 77° yesterday and it’s gonna be 80° on Tuesday

Let the snow begin!

10:34a: Snowing from Boulder to Longmont, and just starting for the north/west Denver area.

It’ll be snowing in Denver momentarily if it hasn’t started already! Roads stay mainly wet in town, trace-2” on colder surfaces.

Wyoming is Wyominging

Looking pretty slick at Vail Pass already, and conditions going downhill at the tunnels now also:

Worst of the mountain driving will be between now and mid-afternoon, improving later this afternoon.

8:25a: Sunny in Denver at the moment, but here comes the funk…snowing in Fort Collins, and it’ll snow heavily once it starts:
