DENVER — Three rounds of snow will move into Colorado's mountains this weekend.
Snow will taper off by early Saturday morning. If you're traveling into the High Country, the best time to travel will be from 7am to midday Saturday before the next round of snow moves in.
It'll be a sunny start to the day in the Denver metro area with increasing clouds by the afternoon. The winds will kick up in the foothills and the west side of I-25. Temperatures will warm into the mid 50s along the urban corridor.
Mountain snow showers will return Saturday night into Sunday morning, as Winter Weather Advisories and Warnings continue for the northern and central mountains.
We'll have another lull midday Sunday with partly cloudy skies statewide. It'll be a bit warmer in the Denver metro, with highs close to 60-degrees by the afternoon.
More mountain snow is expected Sunday night into Monday in the mountains with a slight chance of brief rain or snow showers in the metro as a cold front moves through the region Monday.
By mid-next week, snow chances decrease in the mountains. The plains and Denver cool down dramatically with highs only climbing into the 30s Tuesday. It will be dry, but very chilly for New Year's Eve celebrations.
Temperatures will be a bit more seasonal for New Year's Day in Denver, with highs in the low-40s. Warmer weather returns by the end of next week.
