Winter Storm Warning & Weather Advisory April 16, 2020

From Chief Meteorologist Steve Hamilton:
Winter Weather Advisory For Most Of The Foothills...
Some accumulating snow is expected for the Front Range Foothills, and the Denver metro area. The National Weather Service has posted a Winter Weather Advisory, in effect until Midnight Thursday night. A Winter Storm Warning is up for the mountains, and eastern Jefferson County. Colder air will move into the state on Thursday, with a decent amount of moisture available. The various forecast models have finally come into some agreement on the upslope conditions, which look favorable for a healthy dose of snow. Accumulations should stay under 10" for the foothills, but we can expect over 1 foot in the mountains. At this point, it looks like the snowy conditions will move out by Thursday night, but the weather pattern still looks unsettled Friday and Saturday, with lingering rain and snow showers, with temperatures getting a little bit of a boost. mymountaintown.com/expert-local-weather
