18 inches of snow: Updated city-by-city breakdown of your chances
By now, Coloradans are well-aware of big snow that’s set to roll through the state from Wednesday through Friday. As tends to be the case with snowfall forecasts, they can change quite a bit in days and hours leading up to when the winter weather arrives.
Here’s a look at the current percent chance for up to 18 inches of snowfall in various places around the state, compared to what that percent chance was on Tuesday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
Most notably, most places have less of a chance of 18 inches today compared to yesterday, though there has been an uptick in that probability in some spots, including Castle Rock, which tends to be a pain point for I-25 travelers.
