DENVER — Due to expected below-freezing overnight lows Friday night, the City of Denver will keep the Denver Coliseum open as a 24/7 severe weather shelter through Saturday morning.
The Coliseum, located at 4600 N Humboldt Street, will now remain open until 9 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 17.
A cold front will slide across Denver, bringing chances for snow late Thursday into Friday. Expect a chilly day on Friday with highs in the 30s and a chance for light snow.
It is unclear how much snow this storm will bring. As it stands now, it looks to be a pretty quick mover, and we will have sunshine going into the weekend with highs in the 40s and 50s.
People in need can go directly to the Coliseum. The city said this shelter is best suited for individuals, not families.
