A strong Pacific storm is headed to the state this weekend, and could see more than a foot of snow.
The current track of the strong system bypasses the Front Range. After a forecast high of 47 degrees in Denver on Friday, highs will remain in the 40s and overnight lows in the 20s at least through Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.
A is in effect from 2 a.m. Friday to 2 a.m. Saturday for Saguache County west of the Continental Divide, the eastern Sawatch mountains and the northern Sangre de Cristo mountains, including Independence Pass, Mount Elbert, Mount Massive, Blanca Peak and the Spanish Peaks. Those areas could get up to 8 inches of snow.
