This week’s storm will start with a “wintry mix” – freezing drizzle that develops about midday Thursday before changing to snow overnight into Friday.
“It’s gonna get cold – really, really cold,” said Carl Burroughs, a meteorologist in Boulder with the National Weather Service.
Temperatures are expected to drop into single digits Thursday night. Nighttime lows will be zero or below through Monday and maybe Tuesday, with daytime temperatures at 10-15 degrees above zero.
It’s too early to tell how much snow will come. Weather statements are expected to be issued today, although TV meteorologists Wednesday predicted from 3 to 8 inches in the metro area.
“There is the potential for a significant amount of snow,” Burroughs said Wednesday. “We could get nothing or we could end up with a whole bunch.”
