And on the Watch …
The Winter Storm Watch is now in effect from late tonight through Saturday morning.
A mix of rain and snow is expected this evening… before changing over to all snow by early Friday morning. Heavy snow is possible over the urban corridor… and western Weld County on Friday… continuing into Saturday. Possible accumulations could range from 10 to 24 inches of heavy wet snow. However… there are some indications that a rain-snow mix may occur in parts of the urban corridor for some of this event which could lessen total snow amounts. Northerly winds of 15 to 35 mph are also expected late tonight into Saturday morning.
So … will we actually have appreciable weather this time around? Or, like the past couple of storms, will they largely fizzle out? Stay tuned!
