Get ready! It rolls in Monday at sunset. Classic upslope with up to 2" of moisture. The last hummingbirds will not be amused.
- Lower Elevations: Heavy wet snow may cause significant tree damage and power outages, particularly in the western suburbs and Boulder where up to 8″ of snow could accumulate on fully leafed-out trees. Roadways should remain largely just wet, except in the absolute heaviest bursts of snow where some slush will be possible Tuesday morning and afternoon. Temperatures will remain right around freezing during the day Tuesday, then fall into the mid to upper 20?s Tuesday night. These sub-freezing temperatures will bring an end to the growing season in most areas and obliterate existing record low temperatures for the date. As mentioned earlier, make the necessary preparations with any outdoor plants. The lasting impacts on our vegetation may not fully be realized until next spring.
- Foothills & Mountains: 7 to 15″ of snow in the higher elevations will be devastating to leafed trees and may cause power outages. Fortunately most of the trees in these locations are of course evergreens. Temperatures plummet into the 20?s during the day Tuesday and into the teens Tuesday night. The aspens trees are certainly going to be impacted with limited or no fall color display due to the rock-hard freeze.
