The 2-day temp drop at DEN later this weekend could be around 63 degrees, from 91F On Labor Day to the upper 20s at some point on Tuesday. So, probably won’t make the top 10, but very impressive for September, and early in the month at that. It hit 101F today, a new all-time September record high. 
 

There have been 10 occurrences of a 66+ degree 2-day temp drop at DEN, but none have occurred in September. They were all Oct-Feb.

Largest 2-day temp drop on record is 76 degrees, from 58F on 12/13/2008 to -18F on 12/14/2008.

So if a city has temps in the 90s or even 100F then it snows a couple of days later, do you think warm ground will be a problem for accumulations? People in our region get worried when it is 40F the day before. lol

I think it depends on the intensity.  Obviously light rates would struggle after 100 degree temps.  But if it is snowing at like 1" per hour, or better yet 2-3" per hour, I don't care what the temps were a day or two before.  Probably would have quicker settling/compaction than usual though.

Ugh.  The Euro just flipped all the way back to cutting the upper low off over the Rockies.  It never really ejects eastward.  In one run it shifts from Missouri to Wyoming.  C'mon, man.

 Did you think this was going to be easy lol? It's only the beginning of months of model mayhem :P

As much as we're talking about Denver, it has been and will be even crazier in Laramie WY.  High of 91F yesterday after it was in the 40s during the AM with haze/smoke from wildfires, then winds gusted out of the NW and it hit 90/3 at an hourly ob, RH 3%.  Laramie is around 7,200 feet elevation. Expecting 4-8" of snow Mon-Tues, with a low near 0F on Tuesday night. :o

The initial training storms missed me to the northeast (up to 4-5" fell between CR and Dubuque), but the tail of the MCS dropped a solid line of storms through the area.  I finished with 1.06" of rain.  This may have been the first overnight MCS of the year.

This morning's GFS and Canadian have moved to the Rockies cut-off low scenario, which should put the kibosh on the huge rain totals some models have been spitting out.  The GFS only has another 1.50" falling here all week.

Update:  The 12z UK cuts the upper low of over Utah.  *sigh*

Some bust potential on temps around here on Tue.

This almost looks like a springtime map where the warm front gets held up south of Lake Michigan.  Obviously it's not spring and the lake temps are a lot warmer now compared to that time of year, but the weak pressure gradient/low level flow in the area doesn't give me confidence in getting the front farther north.
