Two rounds of snow are set to hit Colorado within the next 24 hours, according to the National Weather Service. A storm has already settled in the mountains. Late Wednesday into early Thursday, another storm will move into the urban corridor. The latter, which will arrive as rain, will turn to snow overnight. If snow does reach the Denver metro area, and does accumulate, it will measure less than an inch, NWS said.

DENVER — The mountains may pick up another 4 to 8 inches of snow, and light amounts are expected in the Denver area as the main energy with this storm system will pass too far to the south.

Skies will clear late in the day on Thursday and the weekend looks to be mild and dry. Thursday will be chilly with highs in the upper 40s. Friday will be sunny with highs in the middle 50s.
