Events to road conditions: Potential impacts with Pinpoint Weather Alert Day Tuesday
DENVER (KDVR) — With a Pinpoint Weather Alert Day on Tuesday, snow and rain could have an impact on events and even driving, depending on where you are headed. Whether you have tickets to the Rockies game or a Red Rocks concert, there are several events scheduled for Tuesday, as forecasts are showing the potential of almost an inch of rain accumulating in the metro. View the latest Weather Alerts in Denver and across Colorado on FOX31 'This is one of those forecasts that's just not going to be the best conditions,' Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Travis Michels said. 'It's not like little rain at Red Rocks. It's going to be steady rain and then maybe even seeing some flakes out by the foothills, which would not be fun to enjoy a concert in town.' With a full lineup of concerts this week, FOX31 checked in with the city to see if there are any planned changes to the Red Rocks concert on Tuesday. We are told that ticket holders will be notified if there are any delays or cancellations. Plus, there will be information about weather impacts at 'It's an interesting forecast,' Michels said. 'I'll say that with the temperatures that we're going to get above seven, 7,500 feet, they can get more snow there.' CDOT tells FOX31 its teams will be ready across the state for Tuesday's weather. With one to two feet totals likely over Berthoud, Loveland, eastern Kenosha, Wilkerson, Wolf Creek, and La Veta Passes, CDOT Communications Director Matt Inzeo says, Tuesday and Wednesday look especially difficult for travel. These areas will see the most rain during Tuesday's storm 'While this isn't a timeframe that sends people from the Front Range up to ski, travel from or through the high country will see delays and hazardous conditions,' Inzeo said. 'Our teams will be in snow shift throughout this storm in all of the affected areas, with particular focus on all of those high mountain passes.' While Denver won't see snow, it could get a good amount of rain — almost an inch, which Michels says would be equivalent to almost 10 inches of snow if it were cold enough in the city. 'We can see puddling, creeks and streams can overflow,' Michaels said. 'We're talking about those little spots on the street that tend to always puddle up with the water. That's going to be an issue for Tuesday.' FOX31 reached out to the Rockies ahead of Tuesday's scheduled game. If we receive any information about delays or cancellations, we will share updates here.

These areas will see the most rain during Tuesday's storm
DENVER (KDVR) — A storm is bringing heavy rain and snow to parts of Colorado during the first week of May. A Pinpoint Weather Alert Day has been issued for Tuesday for heavy rain along the Front Range and snow in the foothills and mountains starting as early as mid-morning and lasting into the night. Denver weather: Timing, totals, impacts of incoming days of heavy May rain While Denver won't see snow, it could get a good amount of rain — almost an inch, which would be equivalent to almost 10 inches of snow if it were cold enough in the city. Here's which areas will see the most rain from Tuesday morning through Wednesday night: Estes Park: 2 inches Georgetown: 2 inches Conifer: 2 inches Castle Rock: 1.6 inches Boulder: 1.4 inches Monument Hill: 1.4 inches Parker: 1.3 inches Denver: 0.9 inches Fort Collins: 0.9 inches Limon: 0.9 inches Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Travis Michels said Denver's average rainfall in May is 2.16 inches. If it rains nearly an inch in Denver, that would be about half of May's total in a day, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Michels said that from the beginning of the year through Sunday, Denver was short 0.93 inches of rain, so an inch would put Denver back to where it should be for the year. What is severe weather season in Colorado? On average, 1 inch of rain amounts to 10 to 12 inches of snow. While there will be a lot of rain in the area, it's nothing out of the ordinary during the severe weather season. Michels said it's a decent amount of rain for a day, but the rainfall record for May 6 is 3.27 inches. Many areas across Colorado will receive rain, but there's also snow in the forecast. Dillon could see as much as half a foot of snow, with flakes falling across western Colorado. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Will it still be rainy, snowy on Easter Sunday?
DENVER (KDVR) — After a snowy and wet start to the holiday weekend, the sun will return just in time to celebrate Easter Sunday. Whether you are headed to Red Rocks for the annual sunrise service, church or to an egg hunt, you will want to pack warm clothes for the start of the day. Friday and Saturday are both Pinpoint Weather Alert Days due to a storm system that is bringing rain and snow to the Front Range. Temperatures will drop to the mid-30s; however, snow accumulation will be minimal in Denver. Due to continuous melting, snow may only stick to grassy areas and some roadways. Denver weather: Cold and snowy Friday, Pinpoint Weather Alert Day This is good news for those looking to meet the Easter bunny or hunt for eggs on Sunday. The Colorado Council of Churches is hosting its annual Red Rocks Easter Sunrise Service at 6 a.m., and it will be chilly. Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Travis Michels said overnight lows will be in the low-to-middle 20s, so those heading to Morrison at around 4:30 a.m. when doors open will need to bundle up with coats, hats and gloves. While temperatures will be brisk, Michels said there will only be a few clouds in the sky, meaning the sunrise should be great for worshippers. As the day develops, Sunday will have partly to mainly sunny skies. By noon, temperatures will rise to the upper 50s, and the afternoon will be seasonal once again, in the low 60s. If you are doing an Easter egg hunt with the family, watch out for some wet areas. The Pinpoint Weather team expects most of the snow from Friday and Saturday to melt by Easter; however, if your egg hunt is in the shade and faces north, the grass could still be wet. Temperatures will continue to warm up on Monday, with highs back in the 70s.

Timing, totals and impacts of Thursday through Saturday snowstorms
DENVER (KDVR) — After a warmer-than-average March, April is living up to the mantra, 'April showers bring May flowers,' as snow systems move in for the weekend. Denver's snowiest month only produced 2 inches, making March 2025 the eighth least snowy March in recorded history. While the previous month was abnormal, April is reminding Denver why they call the early warm weather fool's spring. Denver weather: Sun, clouds before end of week snow The Pinpoint Weather team is tracking two storm systems from Thursday through Saturday that will drop temperatures and snow along the Denver metro and Front Range. Here is everything you need to know about the incoming storms. Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Travis Michels said the storm models are still shifting, and there is low confidence in the exact timing of when snow will start on Friday. Thursday's storm system will push in from the south and impact the southern mountains. The metro could see some flakes around midday to the early afternoon, but totals will be minimal, if any. The Palmer Divide could see some grassy accumulation once the snow ends late Thursday evening. The timing continues to change on Friday, but as of Wednesday, rain and snow could start as early as Friday afternoon through the evening. If the storm does start as rain, Michels said it will quickly shift to snow and linger through Saturday. Saturday is a Pinpoint Weather Alert Day with the most amount of snow expected. The storm should wrap up by noon, leaving behind slow clearing skies and highs in the 40s. Snow totals will adjust over the next few days as the storms make their way into Colorado. The Pinpoint Weather team is tracking a few inches of snow along the Front Range, with more in the mountains. While confidence in the timing of the storm is low, the Pinpoint Weather team has higher confidence in the totals. Colorado Rockies return to Denver for home opener amid cold, snowy forecast Here are the preliminary snow totals as of Wednesday for the two storm systems that begin on Thursday: Boulder: 3 inches Castle Rock: 4 inches Denver: 2 inches Limon: 1 inch Vail: 6 inches If you packed away your winter gear, be sure to dust it off. The Colorado Rockies' home opener is on Friday, and the storms could potentially impact the game. First pitch is expected to be in the mid-40s with a chance for showers. Since the timing is still up in the air, rain and snow showers could begin during the last few innings of the game, or they could start earlier in the afternoon during the game. Regardless, dress warm if you are going to celebrate the start of baseball season in the Mile High City. As a majority of the snow will fall overnight Friday into Saturday, roads may be slick to start your weekend. Temperatures will also be chilly with a cold breeze, so be safe on the roads. Confidence in these storm systems continues to grow, so be sure to stick with the Pinpoint Weather team as the timing, totals and impacts develop.
