DENVER — Double trouble in Denver as winter weather makes a comeback twice this week!
An actic front barreled into the Front Range and Denver metro this evening, dropping temperatures dramatically. Overnight lows will be in the single digits up and down the I-25 corridor.
We'll be tracking very light snow Monday evening into Tuesday morning around the Denver metro area with less than an inch of accumulation, while the lower foothills could see 1 to 3 inches.
From Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday, another trough will bring moderate snow to the mountains, metro and the plains. The Denver metro area is under a Winter Weather Advisory with 2 to 6 inches of new snow, with some localized heavier bands possible. The Front Range mountains and foothills are also under the advisory until Wednesday afternoon for 4 to 10 inches of new snow. A Winter Storm Watch is in effect Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday for the far Eastern Plains for about 2 to 5 inches of snow.
Bundle up because we'll be dealing with very cold air along with snow. Highs will be in the low 20s Tuesday and lows will drop into the single digits Tuesday night. The snow starts to wind down midday Wednesday, but highs will only be in the teens during the afternoon. Overnight lows will plummet into sub-zero territory across northeastern Colorado Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
While we get a break from the winter weather Thursday, it won't last long.
Late Thursday through Saturday, more Pacific moisture will bring moderate to heavy snow to the mountains and moderate snow to the Denver metro. The snow will ramp up Friday night into Saturday in the city. Stay tuned as it gets closer for potential snowfall totals!
