Winter Storm Warnings remain in effect over the mountains and Winter Weather Advisories cover Denver and the I-25 Corridor. of the state. Additional snow in the mountains will be up to 12 inches above 10,000 feet.

Travel through these areas could be quite tricky and treacherous, so it’s a good idea to plan accordingly if you’re heading into the mountains or traveling for Thanksgiving.

For metro Denver and the lower elevations, a rain/snow mix will switch to all snow by Midnight. While we’re not expecting huge amounts in the metro, it will still lead to slick conditions, making travel tough on the roads.

The snow will move out Wednesday night. Thanksgiving looks to be pretty dry statewide, but it will be chilly. We'll see high temperatures only in the 30s on Wednesday and Thursday.

As we head into the weekend, expect the cool, sunny, dry weather to stick around. The mountains may see some scattered snow showers, but overall, it looks like we’ll be in for a quiet stretch after the midweek storm. Keep an eye on the weather if you’re traveling, and stay warm!
