Sunny skies and higher temperatures today could melt some of the snow dumped on the metro area over the past few days, but morning commuters will still have to navigate icy roads.
Tuesday night was expected to be cloudy and cold with a low around 11 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Temperatures should rise to the mid-30s today under sunny skies after some patchy fog dissipates this morning.
The most recent storm dropped 3 to 5 inches on the metro area.
“We got two storms in four days. Most locations got 6 to 12 inches in the metro area and along the Front Range,” National Weather Service meteorologist Kyle Sredin said Tuesday evening.
The snowy weather has left skiers with plenty to celebrate. A slow-moving front, extending from Arizona to western Nebraska, dumped heavy snow on the southwest mountains, as much as 2 feet in some areas.
Purgatory got 25 inches Monday and Tuesday, according to Colorado Ski Country USA. Wolf Creek reported 23 inches.
Vail, Aspen and Snowmass were expecting an additional 1 to 3 inches overnight and there is a 20 percent chance of more snow in those areas today, according to the Weather Service.
There is a good chance of more snow in Colorado on Thursday night and Friday, but totals are uncertain, the Weather Service said.
