DENVER-
Tonight, expect mountain snow to keep falling, especially around Rabbit Ears Pass, where we could see some of the heaviest accumulations. If you're traveling on I-70 this evening, be careful—roads are likely to get slippery. Light snow is also expected overnight in Denver across the I-25 urban corridor, so keep that in mind if you’re out and about. It should be cleared out by Monday morning rush hour- and we will see sunny skies by Monday afternoon.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, a Winter Storm Watch goes into effect for the mountains, lasting until Wednesday night. This means we could get hit with a lot of snow—think 12 to 24 inches in the higher elevations! Travel through these areas could be quite tricky and even 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, we'll see light snow starting Tuesday night and continuing into Wednesday. While we’re not expecting huge amounts here, it could still lead to some slick conditions- making travel tough on the roads.. So, if you have plans during that time, be ready for possible delays.
The snow will move out early Thursday morning, Thanksgiving Day looks mostly dry but pretty chilly, with temperatures staying in the 30s. It’ll be a good day to enjoy some indoor festivities, so bundle up if you’re planning to be outside!
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!
We'll also be in the 20s for the annual Turkey Trot in Washington Park with highs in the mid-30s on Thanksgiving afternoon.
