Is Fort Collins going to get snow over Super Bowl weekend? Here's what we know

It's looking like a white Super Bowl for Fort Collins as the city is in line for another round of snow just before Sunday's big game.

The northern foothills, Interstate 25 corridor and parts of the Eastern Plains are under a winter weather watch from 5 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. That area could see 3 to 6 inches of snow with localized areas receiving as much as 10 inches.

Travel impacts are possible in the watch area from Friday night through Saturday morning.

Here's what you need to know regarding the latest storm, including forecast snowfall totals, according to the National Weather Service:

Confidence level of weather service for emerging snowstorm

  • Timing: The weather service has a high confidence level for light snow arriving Friday afternoon and the heaviest snow falling Friday night into Saturday.

  • Location: There's medium confidence on where the heaviest snow will fall. Primary concerns and impacts are expected along the I-25 urban corridor and Front Range foothills, but there is still quite a bit of uncertainty of where the heaviest snowfall will take place.

  • Snowfall amounts: Medium confidence. Light to moderate accumulations look likely across the foothills and most of the plains. The heaviest amounts will be reliant on short-lived banded snow features that will be difficult to pinpoint. Forecast snowfall amounts have decreased across the region Friday morning.
