Another round of widespread snow (flurries) are set to hit Colorado this week, and while the state hasn’t really had a major winter storm yet this season, it’s a reminder of what’s on the way.

This round of snow should favor central and northern Colorado, with the Park Range north of Rabbit Ears Pass being most favored. In the ‘high-end’ scenario, this part of the state could get about six to eight inches of snow through Thursday, while the northern Front Range area gets about four to six. In that ‘high-end’ (10% chance) scenario, the rest of the northern and much of the central mountains get snowfall in the range of one to four inches.

The more likely ‘expected’ snowfall scenario calls for a smaller portion of northern Colorado getting snow in the range of one to six inches, with the most accumulation still expected in the Park Range.

The relative lack of snow this year hasn’t stopped two ski areas from opening in October – Keystone, for part of the day on Saturday, and Arapahoe Basin on Sunday.
