AccuWeather

It will be a snowy end to the week across most of the Rockies, with some snow possible in the lower elevations, including Denver

Transcript

00:00 Once again, some energy moving across the Rockies,

00:02 and you know what that means.

00:04 There's snow on the way tonight through tomorrow.

00:07 We do have an area of snow,

00:09 not just for the Rockies,

00:10 but even out toward the Wasatch as well.

00:13 If you live in Park City out toward Provo,

00:15 you'll probably get a couple of flakes.

00:17 Park City more so being higher in elevation.

00:19 In fact, how about we show you the numbers here?

00:22 This is what we're looking at

00:24 widespread across the region.

00:25 Again, Provo,

00:26 you're more in that three to six.

00:27 Once you get to higher elevations,

00:29 you're in that six to a foot range.

00:31 More of the same as we look across the

00:33 Rockies out toward the West of Denver

00:35 into cities like Breckenridge Ski Resorts.

00:37 They're going to love this.

00:38 In fact,

00:39 they're going to love this so much that I

00:41 think we should do a little ski forecast here.

00:44 How about we start in Aspen where?

00:46 Yes,

00:46 we do have an Accuweather wintercast.

00:48 Let's dig in here 27 degrees on Friday

00:50 and two to four inches of snow as we

00:52 look through 4:00 PM on Thursday all

00:54 the way to Saturday early morning.

00:56 That's pretty solid if you ask me.

00:57 So skiers and snowboarders some

00:59 fresh powder for you.

01:00 Now we'll head to Deer Valley.

01:02 I've always wanted to ski out in the Wasatch.

01:04 I've never done it,

01:05 but you know what?

01:06 It's on the bucket list here and I

01:08 could see why as we get more fresh

01:10 powder out toward Deer Valley on Friday,

01:12 just like we're seeing in Aspen.

01:13 Beautiful Bluebird Day on Saturday.

01:14 It's going to be absolutely beautiful.

01:16 This is what we lovingly call some

01:18 white gold here for the mountains.

01:19 Now I will say OK Mo as we look a

01:21 little bit further to the east.

01:23 Not quite as nice.

01:24 You can see the difference here from

01:26 the Wasatch back out to the east.

01:27 The green and white mountains and even

01:29 the boundary mountains in need of some snow.

01:31 So for my folks out in the Rockies,

01:33 just enjoy the powder you've got because,

01:35 well,

01:35 we'll be wishing we had a little

01:36 bit more in the Northeast.
