Up to an inch of snow is expected in Denver on Wednesday morning, while the mountains could get anywhere from 3 to 8 inches, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder.
The chance of snow will increase through the morning in Denver, where there is patchy fog. The low temperature was at 31 degrees at Denver International Airport, the official measuring location for Denver at 6 a.m.
A foot of snow could fall above the timberline in the mountains, according to Kari Bowen, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Boulder.
“We are going to have a winter weather advisory for the mountains that goes until 9 p.m.,” Bowen said. Light snow will pick up until between an inch and two inches of snow fall in ski areas, she said.
Light freezing drizzle began falling early Wednesday morning in the foothills, including in Boulder. Commuters should be cautious because the roads could be very slippery, Bowen said.
The freeze warning in Denver lasts until about 10 a.m. The warmest it will get in Denver on Wednesday will be around 40 degrees.
Wednesday night, the low will drop to around 30 degrees, the NWS says.
