Picked up another .11 this morning. .36 storm total. Watching the developing pattern around day 9-10...

.16" today, bringing me up to .25" last couple days. Looks like maybe another .10-.20" late tonight/tomorrow am. Kinda lame considering how much moisture this storm has dumped west of the mountains.

Actually had a few random, unexpected showers today. .09". Hopefully a good sign for next couple days.

This would be amazing for the drought.

I dunno, I have a better feeling about this one. Definitely a different set up than most in recent months. Latest GFS and Euro both actually upped the totals.

Wed/Thu looks like the first regional soaker in quite awhile.

And yet Sep 2020 happened, the second earliest snowfall on record for Denver!

It's a start!

Depends on how you define "very early" and "storm", but several of the very strong Ninos have featured big early season snowfalls: 1997, 1991, 1972. All within a week of Halloween.

The NAM was a pretty awful model in general. They should have taken it out back and shot it awhile ago.

These maps tend to skew dry due to missing data at some stations, but you can see how the last couple of months have been much wetter to the south and east of Denver metro. Northern Front Range has definitely been the screw zone.

Miss to the south, bummer. Santa Fe has picked up 3.5" from this system.

I was talking more about the extreme N/S cutoff, not where exactly it sets up. Unfortunately, looks like it may be Parker to Monument. Already half an inch of rain in the Springs today.

Looks like a very sharp cutoff across the metro area. Could easily be a situation tomorrow where Westminster has .3" and Parker has 1.5". Bummer that we're just a bit too far north to get in on the heavy action. Southern CO from the springs east is gonna get drenched.

Outlier, unfortunately. All other models taking the big time rain way south.
