A late-season Colorado storm could bring some of the biggest snowfall of the season to Denver, Boulder and the Rockies after a sparse winter.
A late-season storm is expected to bring accumulating snow to parts of Colorado this week, putting Denver, Boulder and the Rockies back in winter weather mode after a season marked by meager snowfall.
News summaries of current forecasts point to several inches of snow in cities that waited much of the winter for significant accumulation. Boulder could see up to a foot, according to a report cited in the summary, and the area was described as being under a winter storm warning.
The storm is drawing attention because it could become one of Colorado’s biggest snow events of the season in some locations, including the Denver area and the Rockies. The summaries described the system as potentially the largest snowstorm of the year for parts of the state, though exact totals remain forecast-dependent.
For Denver and nearby communities, the forecast marks a sharp turn from a winter in which snow was scarce enough to make a May storm notable. The available source material does not provide a full timeline for the storm, detailed warning boundaries or final expected totals by neighborhood.
The key question now is how much of the forecast snow verifies, particularly along the Front Range and in Boulder, where the higher totals were being highlighted. Updated local forecasts and warning information will determine whether the storm becomes a brief late-season burst or a more consequential May snowfall for the region.
