DENVER — This next system will bring scattered rain showers throughout the evening to the Denver metro area, especially in areas west of Interstate 25. We're in for mostly cloudy skies and cooler temperatures in the mid 50s around the city.
If you're traveling to the mountains, it'll look and feel more like winter! Heavy snow will ramp up Thursday afternoon and evening in the mountains. The central and southern mountains could see overall 6 to 12 inches of new snow above 8,500 feet. A winter weather advisory is in effect until noon Friday.
Showers will linger around the Front Range on Friday, but temperatures will be just a bit warmer. Highs return to the upper 50s and lower 60s in the Denver metro area under mostly cloudy skies.
So far, it looks like a warmer Mother's Day weekend with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s over the northeastern plains. We'll see partly cloudy skies, with a chance of afternoon storms both days this weekend.
