The National Weather Service has released their snowfall report for the entirety of the weekend and it’s a doozy.

Both the ‘expected’ (80% chance) and ‘high-end’ (10% chance) forecasts show that big snow is likely throughout the central and northern mountain region through Monday at 5 a.m. In both scenarios, I-70 gets double-digit totals and the Front Range gets mostly missed.

Taking a look at the most likely ‘expected’ scenario first (80% chance), most Colorado peaks get at least a foot of snow with the exception of those in the southwest and in southern Colorado. In this most likely scenario, the Park Range near Steamboat Springs gets the most snow – between 36 and 48 inches. That said, many other peaks north of I-70 also get between 18 and 30 inches.

As far as the high-end scenario goes – which has a 10 percent chance, but would mean a greater impact – possible totals in the Park Range through Monday morning increase to 48 to 60 inches. Meanwhile, parts of I-70 could get between 18 inches and two feet of snow.

See mapping of both scenarios below:

Extreme winds are expected to accompany the snow, with the National Weather Service warning travelers that dangerous conditions are expected – travel is expected to be “very difficult to impossible” in the impacted region. Mountain passes should be particularly problematic, with closures possible and delays.

The National Weather Service has issued a ‘winter storm warning’ for much of the impacted area, including the central and northern mountains.

As far as the state’s ski resorts go, OpenSnow reports that Steamboat Springs could get up to 29 inches of snow over the next five days. Find expected totals for other resorts here.
