Sunny skies and higher temperatures could melt some of the snow dumped on the metro area over the past few days on Wednesday but morning commuters will still have to navigate icy roads.
Tonight is expected to be cloudy and cold with a low around 11 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Temperatures should rise to 36 degrees Wednesday under sunny skies after some patchy fog dissipates this morning.
The most recent storm dumped 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,” said NWS metorologist Kyle Sredin.
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 two feet in some areas.
Purgatory got 25 inches on Monday and Tuesday, according to Colorado Ski Country USA. Wolf Creed 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 Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
There is a good chance of more snow in Colorado on Thursday night and Friday, but totals are uncertain, according to the National Weather Service.
