​A classic late-season April snowstorm is impacting the Rocky Mountains, bringing heavy snowfall to Utah, Colorado, and Arizona. Winter weather alerts remain in place, with some areas expecting over a foot of snow accumulation. Not only is the storm expected to bring heavy snowfall, but high winds will be possible, prompting Red Flag Warnings across much of New Mexico, as an area of low pressure swiftly dives down to the south.

Timing

By later this evening, snow will overspread much of northern New Mexico. By Saturday afternoon, this system will move into the plains, stirring up the severe weather threat, along with lingering snow across the High Plains.

Snowfall

Through Saturday, the heaviest of the additional snow accumulation will fall across higher elevations, including the San Juans and the Front Range.

Temperatures have dropped rapidly across the Southwest as the system has dropped in. Although the snow is late-season, it is roughly average for Denver to see its last snow around this time.
