DENVER, CO - Denver saw its first significant snow this season earlier this week, with 6.5 inches reported downtown! The highest totals were reported in the higher elevations, with 11 inches recorded in Genesee.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-04 095720-1764867453909.png"><h1>Forecast Snow</h1>Further snow is in store for the Rocky Mountains as a frontal system dives in. Precipitation began in northern Utah Friday evening and will spread across Colorado overnight and into Saturday morning. Another round of snow is likely for the weekend with higher moisture content coming from the Northwest.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-05 202547-1764991557250.png"><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/rockieswnoww-1764991689293.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>With today's round and our late-week round, snowfall totals may reach upwards of a foot plus in the higher elevations.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-05 202838-1764991729249.png">This snowfall is more than welcome for some of the ski resorts in the Rockies. With not that many runs open, 12-15" in places like Steamboat Springs will make a difference.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-05 202904-1764991750430.png">Make sure to stay tuned to WeatherNation for the latest on snowfall totals across the front-range.

The Northern Tier of the country is no stranger to cold, and with that being said, another shot of arctic air is here for the next few days. High and low temperatures will be well below average! Friday morning more record lows fell across parts of the Great Lakes and the Northeast.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/1-1764990907597.png">Another round of much colder air is set to arrive this weekend into the first part of next week for the northern tier of the United States. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/1-1764991085969.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/1-1764991105395.png">Along with the continued pushes of colder air, the strong northerly winds will create wind chill factors well below zero!<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/New Baron Video 3-1764991394213.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>When it gets this dangerously cold, even if it only lasts a day or two, bring the pets inside and remember to check on neighbors who might be susceptible to this. If you have to venture out, it's important to cover any exposed skin, as frostbite can set in after as little as 30 minutes.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-01 093932-1764607220609.png">Stay tuned to WeatherNation for the latest details.

As <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/another-blast-of-cold-air-on-the-way">bitterly cold air moves into the Northern Plains</a>, a frigid temperature gradient will set up across the Midwest, setting up the stage for additional snow across the Plains and Midwest. A low diving out of the Rockies will tap into limited moisture to create a round of moderate snowfall from the Dakotas through Michigan this weekend.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-04 172329-1764894262223.png">A surface low will begin to deepen along this gradient by the weekend, and continue to strengthen as it pushes across the Plains and into the Midwest through the day Saturday. By Sunday morning, residents of Chicago could be waking up to falling snow. Models are also showing the possible snow across much of Wisconsin, Michigan, northern Illinois, and northern Indiana.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/mwlow-1764893945785.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>By later in the day on Sunday, most of the snow will be heading towards the Northeast, leaving cold air and lake-effect snow in its wake.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/1-1764990642708.png">While this system moves across cities that were impacted by heavy snow last weekend, this upcoming system won't be quite as powerful. However, we can expect a wide swath of snow from eastern Montana through Ohio of 1-3". Higher totals may be noted from Sioux Falls, across Iowa, and into the Chicago metro.

Rob grew up in South Florida, where daily afternoon storms and hurricanes piqued his interest in meteorology early on. That interest was fostered by his teachers and his father, who one time brought him onto the roof of their home to watch a funnel cloud move through the Everglades several miles away. Years of filmmaking and tv production in high school gradually pushed him toward broadcast meteorology at Florida State University, where he joined and eventually led the student run daily weather show. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology, he began his career at KESQ in Palm Springs, California before heading to KFSN in Fresno and WLOS in Asheville, North Carolina. He has covered a diverse array of extreme weather events, including haboobs and flash flooding in the desert, extreme snow in the Sierra, hurricanes, and Appalachian ice storms. He also enjoys telling stories and reporting about weather issues.

Multiple low-pressure systems moving across the country will bring heavy rain to the Gulf Coast through the end of the week, but on the northern periphery of these lows, cold air will linger, turning rain into snow and ice! The snow started falling Thursday morning in Texas and Oklahoma before moving east Thursday afternoon. <div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1996640648766628256" src="https://x.com/WeatherNation/status/1996640648766628256"></div> Winter weather advisories are in effect through Friday afternoon from North Carolina through eastern Maryland for light/moderate snow and some light icing. Expect roads to be slick with temperatures in the 20s.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/pic6-1764963628163.png">Virginia into North Carolina and some areas around the Chesapeake Bay will see a round of mostly snow on Friday morning, with moderate ice accretions possible along the Blue Ridge Escarpment in Western North Carolina. Some snow may linger along the Mid-Atlantic coast into New Jersey and Delaware into the afternoon and early evening.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/FORECAST-1764971120854.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Snow accumulations look mostly minor, generally 1-3 inches, but higher elevations in the Blue Ridge Mountains could see some 3-6 inch totals. Freezing rain and sleet aren't expected to cause major issues, but elevated surfaces (like bridges and overpasses) could be slick, primarily in North Carolina Friday morning.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/1-1764905174956.png">T

Taban Sharifi grew up in Southern California between Los Angeles and San Diego. She is a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) with the American Meteorological Society (AMS). She has a B.S. in Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Environmental Sciences with a minor in Environmental Systems and Society from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Go Bruins! While in school, Taban was a meteorology intern with NBC LA. There she helped forecast daily weather for the greater Los Angeles region and created a playbook to deploy weather sensors for NBC owned-and-operated stations across the country. Her first on-air job took her to San Angelo, Texas, where she was a morning meteorologist and co-anchor. Working in West Texas gave her knowledge and experience covering severe storms. From there, she moved to Palm Springs, California. People think forecasting in California is sunshine all the time, but with temperatures in the 120’s, wildfires, damaging winds, floodings, and earthquakes, the forecasting kept her very busy! She also worked there as a general assignment reporter and told community stories. Taban is excited for the challenge and opportunity to forecast nationally with WeatherNation. She also looks forward to exploring all that Colorado has to offer!

MONTANA - A clipper system has been moving through the Rockies and High Plains and brought upwards of 4-7" of snowfall across portions of Montana. More snow is in store across the Northern Plains to Midwest to Northeast as the clippers move through.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/New Baron Video 3-1764813457932.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>These totals will pile up across the northern plains, with the highest totals staying out west across the Northern Rockies.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-03 162020-1764804026521.png">Gusty winds will also play a role in the forecast. We can expect rounds of 25-30mph wind gusts. In some cases, maybe even higher than that! Watch out for those wind chill temperatures as they will drop as the winds come through with each clipper system.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/12-03 rnc bams3k wind-1764786148016.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Clipper systems are notorious for bringing quick-accumulating snowfall. But, even if snow totals are not significant, it doesn't mean dangerous road conditions won't be present. The Iowa Department of Transportation reports over 70% of weather-related crashes happen when there is 2" or LESS of snowfall. Use caution on snowy roadways and most importantly: SLOW DOWN.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-02 154321-1764715481857.png">Make sure to stay tuned to WeatherNation for all the latest details on these systems!
