Public Information Statement Statement as of 6:45 PM MDT on March 20, 2010
... This week in Metro Denver weather history...
18-21 in 1907... a warm spell resulted in 6 daily temperature
records. Record maximum temperatures of 82 degrees
occurred on the 18th with 81 degrees on the 19th and
80 degrees on the 20th. Record high minimum temperatures
of 52 degrees occurred on the 19th and 20th with 54
degrees on the 21st.
19-21 in 1888... heavy snowfall totaled 8.6 inches over downtown
Denver. North winds were sustained to 27 mph on the 19th.
20-21 in 1878... warm days with high temperatures in the lower
70's in the city... caused snow to melt on the Palmer
Divide... which caused the waters in Cherry Creek to rise.
The high... rapid running water damaged a home and eroded
bridge footings and abutments. Some bridges became unsafe
for the passage of trains.
In 1904... southwest winds sustained to 48 mph with gusts
to 60 mph warmed the temperature to a high of 68 degrees
on the 20th. The high was only 42 degrees on the 21st
behind a cold front... which produced 1.3 inches of snow
and northeast winds sustained to 27 mph overnight.
In 1923... Post-frontal rain changed to heavy snow and
totaled 8.2 inches over the city. North winds were
sustained to 27 mph with gusts to 29 mph on the 20th.

Fortunately... there were no strong winds with the storm.
North winds to only 19 mph were recorded on the 21st.
21 in 1898... an apparent Canadian cold front produced strong
winds and plunged temperatures from a high of 56 degrees
to a low of 8 degrees late in the day. North winds were
sustained to 48 mph with gusts to 60 mph.
In 1908... light snowfall of 1.3 inches produced 0.10 inch

measured and northeast winds gusted to 18 mph on the 21st.
22 in 1905... apparent Post-frontal north winds were sustained to
49 mph.
In 1922... a vigorous cold front with north winds sustained to
41 mph brought only 0.6 inch of snowfall to the city.
These were the highest winds of the month.
In 1966... high winds caused extensive blowing snow that
impeded traffic and closed highways over a wide area of
eastern Colorado. Wind damage was widespread... but minor.
North wind gusts to 47 mph were recorded at Stapleton
International Airport where visibility was reduced as low
as 1/8 mile in blowing snow.
In 1975... a strong west wind gust to 51 mph was recorded at
Stapleton International Airport... while east of Denver
the strong winds caused minor property damage and
considerable blowing dust which closed several roads.
In 1979... near-blizzard conditions paralyzed the northeastern
quarter of the state. Strong winds and drifting snow
closed many roads... including I-25 and I-70. Power outages
darkened sections of Metro Denver. Snow accumulations of
4 to 12 inches were measured over the plains with drifts
several feet deep. Only 3.5 inches of snow were recorded
at Stapleton International Airport where northeast winds
gusted to 39 mph causing some blowing snow.
In 1995... strong winds associated with a fast moving Pacific
cold front moved from the mountains into Metro Denver.
Winds estimated at 60 to 75 mph picked up rocks and
shattered the windows of a car in Louisville. The strong
winds blew down and partially destroyed two houses under
construction just north of Thornton. West winds gusted
to 53 mph at Denver International Airport where the
visibility was briefly reduced to 1/2 mile in blowing dust.
22-23 in 1936... heavy snowfall of 7.7 inches was measured in
downtown Denver. The heavy wet snowfall formed a thick
coating of snow on trees and shrubs... but caused little
damage. North winds were sustained to 15 mph.
In 1984... around a half foot of new snow fell across Metro
Denver... causing flight delays at Stapleton International
Airport where snowfall totaled 6.0 inches and north winds
gusted to 31 mph. Up to a foot of snow fell in the
foothills. Icy roads produced numerous traffic accidents.
22-24 in 1965... a vigorous cold front swept across Metro Denver
late on the afternoon of the 22nd with east-northeast
winds gusting to 38 mph causing some blowing dust.
Snowfall from the storm totaled 4.4 inches at Stapleton
International Airport. Temperatures on the 22nd dropped
from a maximum of 63 degrees to 18 degrees in just 10 hours

In 1951... a Chinook wind gust to 56 mph was recorded at
Stapleton International Airport.
In 1957... strong north winds gusting to 62 mph reduced the
visibility at times to 1 mile in blowing dust at Stapleton
Airport as Metro Denver dodged a major Spring storm...
which produced heavy rain... snow... wind... and dust over
eastern Colorado on the 22nd through the 25th. Snow
drifted to 15-foot depths in some areas. All traffic
was blocked... power lines were downed... and livestock and
crop losses were high.
In 1994... strong winds raked the eastern foothills. While
the highest winds occurred north of Metro Denver... wind
gusts to 74 mph were recorded atop Squaw Mountain near
Idaho Springs and to 70 mph at Rocky Flats north of
Golden. West wind gusts to 40 mph were recorded at
Stapleton International Airport.
In 2005... lightning struck the roof of a home in Paradise
Hills near Genesee. About 5 percent of the residence
was damaged by the resulting fire.
23-24 in 1909... Post-frontal rain on the 23rd changed to heavy snow
during the evening and continued through the morning of the
24th. Snowfall totaled 13.8 inches. Rain and melted snow...
totaled 2.43 inches... which was the record greatest 24 hour
precipitation ever recorded in March at that time. A
thunderstorm of moderate intensity occurred on the 23rd in
advance of the cold front. North winds were sustained to
27 mph overnight.
In 1990... several hours of freezing drizzle covered roadways
with a thin layer of "black ice" which caused nearly 100
traffic accidents across Metro Denver. In Boulder... snow
and freezing rain caused numerous accidents and brief power
outages. Snow in Boulder ranged from an inch east of town
to 4 to 5 inches near Table Mesa. At times thunder was
heard during the snow. Snowfall totaled only 0.6 inch
at Stapleton International Airport where northwest winds
gusted to 30 mph on the 23rd.
In 1995... high winds developed late on the 23rd and continued

high rise building... spraying glass on the sidewalks and
streets below. Southeast winds gusted to 48 mph at Denver
International Airport on the 23rd.
In 1996... the third storm in 10 days brought heavy snow to
the mountains... foothills... and Metro Denver. Snowfall
totaled 18 inches at Golden Gate Canyon and 10 inches
at Nederland in the foothills. Across Metro Denver...
snowfall ranged from 4 to 8 inches. At the site of the
former Stapleton International Airport... snowfall totaled
6.5 inches with most of the snow occurring on the 24th.
North winds gusted to 34 mph at Denver International
Airport. As the storm moved east on the 24th and 25th...
blizzard conditions developed over northeastern Colorado
closing both I-70 and I-76 east of Denver.

downtown Denver. Most of the snow fell on the 24th.
Winds were light.
In 1964... heavy snowfall of 5.8 inches was measured at
Stapleton International Airport. North-northeast winds
gusted to 21 mph behind a cold front.
24 in 1909... a major winter storm dumped 13.8 inches of snow over
downtown Denver.
In 1915... a cold front produced Post-frontal winds to 41 mph.
In 1919... some unusually soft but rather large hail fell with
the beginning of precipitation from the first thunderstorm
of the season early in the evening. Only a trace of rain
was observed.
In 1937... a light to moderate dust storm began at 1:30 PM and
continued until 8:30 PM. The storm reduced the visibility
to 3/4 mile at times. Northeast winds were sustained to
29 mph with gusts to 34 mph.
In 1970... a vigorous cold front produced a northeast wind gust
to 60 mph at Stapleton International Airport where 3.2
inches of snow fell following the frontal passage. The
strong winds caused minor damage from Denver northward... and
billows of blowing dust reduced visibility at times.
Following the passage of the cold front... the temperature
dropped 25 degrees in an hour from 65 to 40 degrees.
In 1982... a strong cold front roared across Metro Denver.
Northeast winds gusted to 48 mph at Stapleton International
Airport. The strong winds behind the front created a huge
cloud of dust at least one thousand feet high... which briefly
reduced visibilities to less than one mile.
In 1987... near-blizzard conditions over northeastern Colorado
closed both I-70 and I-76 east of Denver. While only a
trace of snow fell in Denver... northeast winds gusted to 37
mph.
In 1997... an early Spring storm brought snow to Metro Denver.
The heaviest snow fell in the foothills and over the Palmer
Divide. Snowfall at Conifer totaled 5 inches. A woman was
killed when she lost control of her vehicle on snow packed
and slick roads near Castle Rock. Snowfall totaled only
1.3 inches at the site of the former Stapleton International
Airport. North winds gusted to 46 mph at Denver
International Airport.
24-25 in 1904... west bora winds sustained to 40 mph with gusts to
55 mph warmed the temperature to a high of 49 degrees on
the 24th. Overnight... a cold front produced 4.5 inches of
snow. The high temperature was only 34 degrees on the 25th.
In 1955... a vigorous cold front with winds sustained to
34 mph and gusts to 39 mph briefly reduced the visibility
to 2 miles in blowing dust at Stapleton Airport.
Post-frontal heavy snowfall totaled 9.5 inches at
Stapleton Airport where the maximum snow depth on the
ground was 7 inches.
24-26 in 1959... the second major Spring storm in less than a week
dumped 10 to 20 inches of wet snow across northeastern
Colorado. Snowfall totaled 14.3 inches at Stapleton
Airport where north winds gusted to 36 mph... causing near-
blizzard conditions with visibilities frequently reduced to
1/2 mile in snow and blowing snow. Many travelers were
marooned when trains... planes... and buses were unable to make
their schedules. Utility lines were again damaged as a
result of the storm.
25 in 1874... the wind blowing in gusts from the west-northwest
filled the air with dust so dense that only the houses
in the immediate neighborhood of the weather station
could be recognized. The brisk winds continued through
the afternoon.
In 1886... heavy snowfall of 6.5 inches occurred in the city.
In 1896... northwest winds sustained to 58 mph with gusts to
65 mph warmed the temperature to a high of 70 degrees.

In 1950... strong Chinook winds gusted to 50 mph at Stapleton
Airport.
In 1976... 3.4 inches of snow fell at Stapleton International
Airport where northeast winds gusted to 46 mph. The
strong winds at 20 to 35 mph all day produced a rare
"snirt" storm when blowing dust and dirt became mixed
with snow and blowing snow reducing the visibility to as
low as 1/4 mile at Stapleton International Airport.
In 1984... 1 to 4 inches of new snow fell across Metro
Denver. Icy roads contributed to many accidents. The
most hazardous conditions occurred in the foothills west
of Denver. Both I-70 and U.S. 40 were closed at the
height of the Sunday afternoon ski rush... causing delays
of many hours. Snowfall totaled only 1.0 inch at
Stapleton International Airport with only a trace on
the ground due to melting.
In 1988... high winds in the mountains spread over Metro
Denver. A wind gust to 75 mph was noted in Boulder where
a traffic light was downed. Power outages were reported in
Boulder County. Northwest winds to 46 mph were recorded at
Stapleton International Airport.
25-26 in 1899... a major storm dumped 13.1 inches of heavy snow
over downtown Denver. Rain changed to snow around mid-
morning on the 25th. Snowfall became heavy and continued
until late evening on the 26th. North to northeast
winds gusted to 30 mph on both days. The cold air mass
plunged temperatures from a high of 55 degrees on the
25th to a low of 8 degrees on the 26th.
In 1995... a potent early Spring storm produced heavy snow in
the mountains... but skipped over Metro Denver... before
producing blizzard conditions and 6-foot drifts over
eastern Colorado... causing the closure of I-70 and other
highways. Only 0.7 inch of snow fell at the site of the
former Stapleton International Airport. North winds
gusted to 40 mph at Denver International Airport on
the 25th.
In 2001... a persistent band of moderate to heavy snow showers
with a few embedded thunderstorms formed in the foothills
around Estes Park and spread to the southeast across Boulder
and Denver and on the plains to the east of Denver. Thunder
and snow was reported at Jefferson County... Centennial... and
Denver international airports during the evening of the 25th.
Snowfall totals included: 7 inches at Boulder and louisville;
6 inches at Broomfield... Niwot... and westminster; 5 inches at
Eldorado Springs... Nederland... and near Strasburg. Only 2.1
inches of snow fell at the site of the former Stapleton
International Airport.
25-27 in 1904... heavy snowfall totaled 7.0 inches in downtown
Denver.
26 in 1899... a major winter storm dumped 11.3 inches of snow over
downtown Denver.
In 1910... west winds were sustained to 42 mph. A snow shower
produced a trace of snow.
In 1935... a severe dust storm swept across the city. The
dense dust blew in on a gale from the east-northeast.
The dust "bank" was first visible on the northeastern
horizon at about 2:00 PM. It advanced toward the city
as a rolling... swirling... yellowish-to smoke-black cloud.
At 2:06 PM... the cloud of dust enveloped the station.
Before the storm the visibility was unlimited. At
2:08 PM... the visibility was reduced to 1/8th mile. By
2:25 PM... the visibility was increasing and was above
1000 feet at 3:10 PM. Thereafter... the sun appeared
as a dim "ball of fire" at times. The dust was
partially gone at 8:30 PM. During the storm... northeast
winds were sustained to 32 mph with gusts as high as
35 mph.
In 1971... the highest recorded temperature in March... 84
degrees... occurred. This was the highest temperature
recorded so early in the season. Previously... 84 degrees
had not been reached until April 21st. The temperature
also exceeded the previous daily record of 75 degrees set
in 1960. Strong northwest Chinook winds gusting to 37 mph
at Stapleton International Airport were partially
responsible for causing the extremely warm weather
so early in the season.
In 1985... strong winds occurred along the foothills. A wind
gust to 76 mph was recorded in Boulder. A dust storm
produced by the strong winds caused a 35-car pileup on I-25
north

NWS Forecaster Discussion
970 fxus65 kbou 202057 afdbou Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Denver Colorado 256 PM MDT Sat Mar 20 2010 Short term...upper level ridge axis will build across Colorado tonight and Sunday. Significant warming aloft will occur...and this combined with downslope warming should rid US of most of the snow on the ground by late Sunday afternoon...except in/along the foothills where snow cover is substantially deeper. In any case...high temperatures look like they will be able to respond to the thinning snow cover under full sunshine and downslope warming. As a result...have increased the highs a few more degrees with 50s expected in most locations. Cant even rule out 60f or better where snow is gone today already. Long term...models have an upper ridge axis moving east of the forecast area Sunday night...with fairly strong zonal flow aloft prognosticated Monday into Monday evening. The flow aloft becomes southwesterly late Monday night and continues on Tuesday. At 00z Tuesday afternoon...models have an upper closed low located in and around central Utah moving southward. Models have weak downward synoptic scale motion prognosticated Sunday evening...then weak upward motion kicks in before dawn Monday morning and continues into Tuesday. Tuesday afternoon...the upward vertical velocity is a bit stronger with the upper low to the west. The low level pressure and wind fields have troughing east of the mountains Sunday night into Monday evening with a downsloping component to the boundary layer flow. The GFS and NAM show a surge of cooler air and northerly upslope flow move into the forecast area sometime around midnight Monday night. On Tuesday...decent north-northeasterly boundary layer flow is prognosticated. Both models have the depth of the upslope at around 600 mb by Tuesday afternoon. For moisture...Sunday night is dry...with only some upper level moisture around Monday. By Monday night...moisture is increasing and deepening over the mountains. By Tuesday...moisture increases over the plains and foothills with aid from the upslope. The NAM has the moisture into the plains deeper and earlier on Tuesday than the GFS. By late Tuesday afternoon... the GFS has nearly caught up to the NAM. The mountains stay very moist on Tuesday according to both models. There is some decent cape indicated Monday afternoon for the plains and foothills...but little moisture to work with. The quantitative precipitation forecast fields have nothing for the forecast area Sunday night and Monday. By Monday night...both models have measurable precipitation over the mountains and the northern half of the plains. Both show measurable precipitation over all the plains by Tuesday afternoon...the most over the foothills and the central mountains of the forecast area. For mountain probability of precipitation...moisture is substantial by midnight Monday night ..and there is weak westerly mountain top flow. Lapse rates are fairly steep. Will up probability of precipitation to "chance" in the mountains from midnight Monday night. With keep "chances" going Tuesday...and Tuesday night. Model trends are bringing this storm in earlier and earlier each successive run. For probability of precipitation over the plains...will keep them out until Tuesday morning. Will only go "slight chances" for now on Tuesday with model consistency issues. Will go cooler over the plains on Tuesday...so will go mixed precipitation over the Western Plains for sure. No highlight yet. For temperatures... monday's highs are 4-6 c warmer than sunday's. Models have the front move through Monday night...as a result tuesday's highs are 7-13 c colder than monday's. Will drop current gfe gridded highs on Tuesday some..but not the whole amount just yet. For the later days...Wednesday through Saturday...the upper closed low is prognosticated to move east across the northern half of New Mexico on Wednesday... but it does weaken. By Thursday...the upper trough axis is through the forecast area with weak northwesterly flow aloft. Thursday night through Friday...a flat upper ridge moves across. Friday night into Saturday...now the GFS and European model (ecmwf) bring a weak upper trough across. Will keep "chance" probability of precipitation going on Wednesday...with the next system. Will decreases probability of precipitation Wednesday night. Thursday into Friday are dry. Will put some minimal probability of precipitation in the high mountains Friday through Saturday. Aviation...clear skies will prevail along with light and normal diurnal wind patterns. && Bou watches/warnings/advisories...none. $$ Barjenbruch/koopmeiners
