Some unsettled weather will move through over the next few days thanks to a powerful jet stream cutting a path across the northern Rockies.
We call this pattern ‘northwest flow’ and it means occasional waves of wind and moisture will cross the region.
The northern and central mountains will benefit the most with a few inches of snow along and south of Interstate 70. Areas closer to the Wyoming state line could see a half foot or more.
In Denver and on the northeast plains we have a shallow cold front that will back in and kick up scattered rain and snow showers. Some places near the Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas state lines could see a few inches of snow.
In Denver, Greeley, Boulder and Fort Collins we mostly anticipate either patchy freezing drizzle or a few pockets of flurries or light snow close to sunrise with little to no accumulation.
We’ll get a brief break late Sunday and early Monday before another weather marker arrives with a chance of snow for Monday night.
DENVER (CBS4) – Northwest flow continues to introduce moisture into Colorado to fuel more showers and thunderstorms across the central Rockies and plains.
Much like Friday, many of Saturday’s storms may reach severe levels during the afternoon and evening. With large hail, damaging winds and heavy rain being the main threat in and near the Denver metro area. Further east from Greeley down to Bennett and Limon out over to the Kansas line there is a chance for isolated tornadoes
Sunday will be cooler with yet another round of late day showers and storms. Some of those could also be severe to finish out the weekend.
Drier weather is expected to work into the mix by Tuesday.
