As a fast-moving winter storm sweeps through Colorado, snowfall is anticipated in the Denver metro area and along the Front Range. While Denver itself is not currently under any weather advisories, portions of Elbert and Douglas Counties, as well as the High Country, remain under a winter weather advisory. Snow is projected to become more widespread throughout Thursday, with a gradual tapering off expected by Friday morning.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has highlighted the likelihood of heavy snowfall along C-470 in the southern Denver metro area. This band of heavy snow is predicted to pass through relatively quickly, lasting no more than 20 minutes, yet may result in slushy and snowy road conditions with reduced visibility.
Weather Forecast Updates
10:30 p.m. | Snow Showers Update: Snow showers are expected to continue intermittently through the evening, with coverage set to increase overnight as a cold front approaches from the south. Meteorologists forecast around half an inch to 2 inches of snow accumulation along the I-25 corridor, encompassing Denver, by Friday morning.
3:30 p.m. | Second Round of Snow: Another storm system is poised to move across Colorado, ushering in additional cold air and snow for the mountains and Front Range. Snowfall is predicted for Thursday evening and overnight into Friday morning, potentially leading to challenging travel conditions across the High Country and southern Colorado. The snow is anticipated to clear out by Friday morning.
12:30 p.m. | Heavy Snow Alert: NWS has issued a caution regarding heavy snowfall expected along C-470 in the southern Denver metro area. Motorists are advised to exercise care as this band of heavy snow passes through, causing temporary slush and reduced visibility on roadways.
12:30 p.m. | Snow Update: A band of snow is currently traversing the Denver metro region, with NWS projecting intermittent periods of no snow during the afternoon. While roads may primarily be wet at lower elevations throughout the day, plummeting temperatures and increased snowfall could lead to hazardous travel conditions later into the evening and for the Friday morning commute.
