The episode as NWS BOU wrote it up.
A spring storm produced heavy snow in parts of the north central mountains as well as the higher elevations of South Park. Storm totals included: 18 inches just north of Fairplay, 14 inches in Alma, 12.5 inches just southeast of Breckenridge and 10.5 inches in the town of Fairplay.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Denver/Boulder, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 26, 9:40 AM MST, 2 hours 20 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER/BOULDER CO 1040 AM MDT SUN APR 26 2015 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 1040 AM MDT SUN APR 26 2015 MAIN RAIN BAND OVER THE PLAINS IS NOW PUSHING NORTHWEST INTO THE HIGH COUNTRY FOR THE EXPECTED WINTER STORM WARNING. WATCHING WEBCAMS IN THE HIGH COUNTRY...OVERALL THE SNOW LEVEL VARIES BETWEEN 8500 AND 10000 FEET. LOWERED THE FORECASTED SNOW LEVEL WHICH WILL BRING MORE SNOW INTO PARK COUNTY. SNOW TOTALS THERE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS THEN SHOULD RANGE FROM A COUPLE INCHES AT THE LOWER ELEVATIONS TO 6 TO 8 INCHES OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. SNOW LEVELS TONIGHT LOOK TO CREEP DOWN TO 7500 FT WHICH COULD BRING SOME OF THE UPPER ELEVATIONS OF THE FOOTHILLS NEAR CRITERIA...AND BRING A SNOW RAIN MIX TO AROUND 6500 FT. HOWEVER...THE STORM SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE MOVING ALONG QUICKER THAN EXPECTED...AND LATEST NAM GUIDANCE IS FOLLOWING THIS TREND ALONG WITH THE PREVIOUS MENTIONED FACT THAT THE STORM IS NOW A BIT FURTHER SOUTH. THAT WOULD BUT THE HEAVIER RAIN/SNOW AMOUNTS MORE LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING WHICH MAY LOWER THE EXPECTED SNOW AMOUNTS TONIGHT. FOR NOW WILL LEAVE THE FOOTHILLS OUT OF ANY WINTER HIGHLIGHT...AS THE UPPER RIDGES WILL LIKELY HAVE 3 TO 7 INCHES OVER THE 24 HOURS. HAVE KEPT A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN AND OVER THE PALMER DIVIDE FOR TODAY. && .SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT ) ISSUED AT 425 AM MDT SUN APR 26 2015 UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTER OF WEST CENTRAL ARIZONA WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL ARIZONA TODAY AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO TONIGHT. THIS IS A LITTLE MORE SOUTH THAN THE MODELS WERE SHOWING. THIS WILL RESULT IN SLIGHTLY LOWER PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS. STEEP LAPSE RATES OVER THE AREA COMBINED WITH CONVERGENCE ALONG THE BOUNDARY PRODUCED THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT OVER THE PLAINS. THE STORMS GENERALLY MOVED NORTHWARD WITH THE FLOW ALOFT AND DEVELOPMENT SHIFTED WESTWARD WITH THE BOUNDARY. STRENGTHENING EASTERLY WINDS WILL HELP PUSH THIS BOUNDARY WESTWARD THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE TO FIRE ALONG THIS CONVERGENCE LINE THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AS IT SHIFTS WESTWARD INTO THE METRO AREA. BY MID TO LATE MORNING...EASTERLY WINDS WILL PREVAIL ALONG THE FRONT RANGE. THIS MOIST EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW SHOULD CONTINUE TO PRODUCE LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN ALONG THE FRONT THROUGH TONIGHT. THE FLOW WILL SLOWLY WEAKEN OVERNIGHT...SO WILL LOWER PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS A LITTLE. WILL UPGRADE THE WATCH TO A WARNING. AMOUNTS WILL BE A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE CURRENT WATCH DUE TO THE LITTLE MORE SOUTHERLY TRACK. STILL THINKING 8 TO 16 INCHES OF SNOW ALONG THE EAST SLOPES. FOOTHILLS SHOULD SEE MAINLY RAIN TODAY...WITH A CHANGE TO SNOW FOR THE HIGHER FOOTHILLS THIS EVENING. PRECIPITATION DECREASE OVERNIGHT AS THE TEMPERATURES AND SNOW LEVELS FALL IN THE FOOTHILLS...SO WILL NOT ISSUE ANY ADVISORIES OR WARNINGS AT THIS TIME. COULD SEE UP TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW IN THE HIGHER FOOTHILLS BY MONDAY MORNING...BUT MOST LOCATIONS SHOULD BE UNDER 4 INCHES. OVER THE PLAINS...IT WILL REMAIN MOIST...HOWEVER THERE IS A LACK OF LARGE SCALE FORCING. WILL KEEP POPS HIGH...BUT PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS SHOULD BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE. .LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY) ISSUED AT 425 AM MDT SUN APR 26 2015 BY EARLY MON MORNING...MODEL CONSENSUS PLACES THE CLOSED 500 MB LOW ABOUT 100 MILES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF AMARILLO TX. LOW LOOKS SOMEWHAT STRONGER AT THIS POINT AND CONSEQUENTLY SLOWER MOVING. BEST HEIGHT FALLS ARE INDICATED DUE EAST OF THE LOW WHICH WOULD SUPPORT ITS EASTWARD PROGRESS PORTRAYED IN THE MODELS. EAST- NORTHEASTERLY FLOW AROUND THE NORTH SIDE OF THIS CYCLONE WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO PRODUCE AMPLE CLOUD COVER AND AREAS OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION OVER THE FRONT RANGE MTNS AND ADJACENT HIGH PLAINS OF NORTHEAST COLORADO DURING THE MORNING HRS ON MONDAY. HEIGHT OF THE WETBULB ZERO AROUND 12Z/MONDAY IS FCST TO BE ANYWHERE FROM 7400 FT OVER NRN PORTIONS OF THE I-25 CORRIDOR TO AROUND 8000 FT OVER THE PALMER DVD. THEREFORE NOT COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW ON THE PLAINS...BUT CERTAINLY COLD ENOUGH FOR A RAIN/SNOW MIX OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE PALMER DIVIDE. ITS POSSIBLE WE COULD SEE AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATION ABOVE 6500 FT OR SO ON THE DIVIDE MON MORNING. MEANWHILE THE HIGHER EAST FACING SLOPES OF THE FRONT RANGE MTNS AND FOOTHILLS COULD PICK UP ANOTHER 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW BY LATE MON MORNING...WITH THE GREATER AMTS CENTERED AROUND 8500 FT WITHIN THE FAVORABLE 25-30F TEMP ZONE. BY ERLY MON AFTERNOON SHOULD SEE PRECIP ENDING FROM EAST-TO-WEST ON THE PLAINS WITH AN INFLUX OF DRIER AIR WRAPPING AROUND THE UPPER LOW. THIS DRYING TREND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS WITH THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW TURNING TO A LESS FAVORABLE NORTHERLY COMPONENT WHICH SHOULD BRING AN END TO THE LIGHT PRECIP ON THE PLAINS BEFORE MIDNIGHT AND OVER HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE FRONT RANGE BY TUE MORNING. SHOULD SKIES CLEAR SOONER THAN EXPECTED OVERNIGHT...COULD SEE A HARD FREEZE FOR PORTIONS OF THE HIGH PLAINS AND CERTAINLY FOR THE PALMER DIVIDE. AS IT STANDS NOW... ELEVATIONS BELOW 6000 FT SHOULD ESCAPE A FREEZE. LATER IN THE WEEK...THE REGIONAL AIRMASS DRIES AND STEADILY WARMS AS A STRONG UPPER RIDGE NOSES IN FROM THE GREAT BASIN. HOWEVER LINGERING LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE STREAMING NORTH BENEATH THE RIDGE COULD BUBBLE UP INTO A FEW LATE DAY SHOWERS/T-SHOWERS OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS TUE AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE TEMPS NEAR AVERAGE ON TUESDAY JUMP ANOTHER UP ANOTHER 4-5DEG C FOR WEDNESDAY WITH VIRTUALLY NO CHANCE OF PRECIP THAT DAY WITH THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS PASSING OVERHEAD. ON THURSDAY...FLOW ALOFT TURNS SWLY WITH RIDGE TO OUR EAST AND A SHORTWAVE TROUGH SWINGING DOWN OUT OF THE PAC NORTHWEST. A RIBBON OF MOISTURE FLOWING IN OFF THE PACIFIC AHEAD OF THIS TROUGH ACCORDING TO MODELS APPEARS TO FUEL A WEST-EAST BAND OF SHOWERS-T-STORMS ACRS NORTHERN AND CNTRL COLORADO DURING THE AFTN AND EVENING HRS ON THURSDAY. WILL REFLECT THIS IN THIS MORNING'S FCST PACKAGE. THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS/T-STORMS MAY NOT END THERE AS MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE SCATTERED AREAS OF LIGHT QPF THU NIGHT THRU FRI NIGHT WITH THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH PASSING TO OUR NORTH AND WITH A JET STREAM OVERHEAD. THURSDAY TEMPS EXPECTED TO BE THE WARMEST OF THE WEEK...WITH A FEW DEG COOL DOWN ON FRIDAY. SAT LOOKS DRIER BASED ON LATEST GUIDANCE ALONG WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN TEMP. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY MORNING) ISSUED AT 1040 AM MDT SUN APR 26 2015 LOW CLOUDS WITH PERIODS OF LIGHT RAIN WILL CONTINUE TODAY AND TONIGHT. A BRIEF BREAK IN THE CEILINGS BEHIND THE MAIN RAIN BAND ALLOWED FOR SOME IMPROVEMENT OF CEILINGS...BUT THIS IS SHORT LIVED. EXPECT CEILINGS TO RETURN TO LESS THAN 1500 FEET THROUGH TODAY AND LOWER TO 500 FT TONIGHT. CEILINGS MAY DROP BELOW 500 AT TIMES AND REDUCE VISIBILITY TO LESS THAN A MILE AT TIMES TODAY. GUSTY EAST WINDS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THIS EVENING BEFORE DECREASING IN SPEED AND BECOMING MORE NORTHEASTERLY BY MONDAY. && .BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN THIS AFTERNOON. SNOW WILL INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE TONIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL FALL TONIGHT ALLOWING FOR SNOW ACCUMULATION IN THE FOOTHILLS AND POSSIBLY ALONG THE PALMER DIVIDE. HEAVY SNOW WILL MAKE TRAVEL DIFFICULT IN THE HIGH COUNTY AS ROADS BECOME SNOWPACKED. THE WET HEAVY SNOW WILL ALSO WEIGH DOWN TREES AND POSSIBLY BREAK BRANCHES. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATION FROM THIS LATEST STORM SYSTEM WILL RANGE FROM 8 TO 16 INCHES ALONG THE FRONT RANGE MOUNTAINS BY NOON MONDAY. FOOTHILL AREAS COULD SEE ANYWHERE FROM 3 TO 8 INCHES...WITH UP TO AN INCH OR TWO OF SLUSHY SNOW ON THE PALMER DIVIDE.

THE HIGHER ELEVATION SNOW WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE IN INTENSITY ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS DURING THE DAY MONDAY. MEANWHILE...LINGERING LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS ON THE PLAINS SHOULD COME TO AN END BY MONDAY EVENING. DRY AND WARMER CONDITIONS RETURN TO THE OUTLOOK AREA TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND LATE DAY THUNDERSTORMS WILL COME THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY OR TONIGHT.
