Some flurries are expected to start on Friday evening and linger into Saturday morning on the eastern plains, where wind chills could dip below zero degrees.
Wondering how much snow Denver is expected to get? Don't get your hopes up. The National Weather Service (NWS) out of Boulder reported that "for snow enthusiasts, the setup leaves a lot to be desired." Estimates hover around less than 1/10 of an inch.
Between four and 12 inches of new snow is forecasted for the mountains, mostly along and south of Interstate 70. Mountain roads may become slick around sunset.
