The Denver area is expected to wake up to light snow Sunday with one to three inches accumulating during the day. But don’t worry, you’ll get a chance to thaw as temperatures should take an upward turn toward 50-degree relief Tuesday.
Eastern Colorado will bear the brunt of a winter storm moving into Kansas. For those heading east to Kansas, expect freezing rain with four-to-eight inches of snow expected near the border, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Kyle Fredin.
“The way it looks right now is Metro Denver looks to be spared from the worst of it,” Fredin said on Saturday evening. “It will be different on I-70 from Limon to Kansas City. I won’t be surprised if I-70 had a handful of closures. We encourage people to check CoTrip because freezing rain is not good.”

The highs Sunday should be in the mid- to upper-30s and lows should be in the mid-20s.
Light snow will continue into Martin Luther King Day, which has a 40 percent chance of snow in the morning to early afternoon. The potential high for the day is 39 degrees and likely lows near 20 degrees.
Temperatures should hop up to the 50s Tuesday and have the potential to stay there through the week, although the National Weather Service warned that these are far out projections.
