Winter Storm Warning & Advisory February 14-15, 2023

13 Feb 2023 20:57 #1 by MountainTownAlerts
From Chief Meteorologist Steve Hamilton:
Snow And Cold Coming...
Some snow showers from the first low pressure system will be possible, mainly in the higher mountains, on Tuesday morning. With a second system moving in, a low will develop over southeast Colorado, we can expect very gusty wind throughout the foothills Tuesday, at 25 to 35 mph, and perhaps as high as 45 mph. By Tuesday evening, we should have favorable upslope conditions, and sufficient moisture for a few inches of snowfall. Amounts could top 7 or 8" for some locations Tuesday night. Temperatures will be cold, and combined with the gusty wind, our wind chills could drop to -15. Tuesday night into Wednesday, some areas of heavy or banded snow will be possible. Several inches of snow is also possible for the Denver metro, with slick roads expected through the Wednesday morning commute.
