There will, unfortunately, be no white Christmas for folks in Denver and the mountains this year.
But despite the lack of classic holiday charm, Christmas Day looks to be a pleasant one with no travel concerns, according to the National Weather Service.
Temperatures will be mild — 40-45 degrees on the plains and 20-35 degrees in the mountains. A cloudy morning in the metro area is expected to turn sunny in the afternoon. In the mountains, a light morning snow shower is possible.
Christmas Day will have pleasant weather with no travel concerns.

The urban corridor is likely is expected to see minor impacts from the storm, forecasters say.
