There may be a lull in the snow for awhile this morning, but heavy snow will re-develop this afternoon across the Denver metro region and continue tonight as a strong upper-level low reaches around the southwestern states. The slow movement of this upper-level system is combining with deep, strong and long-lasting upsloping winds to produce significant snowfall around here and this pattern will last well into the night with 10-16 inches on the table for the Denver/Boulder metro areas and localized higher amounts are likely. Winds will remain an important factor with gusts past 30 mph today and tonight creating some blowing snow and there can be a rumble of thunder as well. The snow is of the heavy, wet variety which unfortunately, raises the possibility of some isolated power outages as the day progresses. Across the foothills, as much as 2-4 feet of snow is likely to accumulate during this major winter storm event by daybreak on Friday. The weather settles down this weekend and a noticeable warm up takes place early next week.
