Though a forecast blizzard didn’t materialize, Denverites are left with the remnants of a powerful winter storm including blustery winds, icy roads and wind-chill values as low as zero degrees, forecasters say.
A few snow flurries could still fall Thursday in Denver after the bulk of the storm has pushed into Midwestern states, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder.
There is a 30 percent chance of snow showers on Thursday. Icy roads and winds gusting up to 33 mph could blow snow onto roads, making the morning commute difficult.
A winter weather advisory is in place until noon in Denver and along the Front Range, while a blizzard warning is in place for the Eastern Plains. Winds on the northern plains could gust up to 65 mph, the NWS says.
Snow showers should ebb by about 10 a.m. and there is a slight chance of snow after 3 p.m., the NWS says. Little or no additional snow accumulation is expected.
Snow showers are beginning to decrease in coverage and intensity this morning. The Blizzard Warning has been replaced by a Winter Weather Advisory for areas along the Palmer Divide northeastward to Fort Morgan.

Afternoon snow showers are possible on Friday. The snow could turn to rain after 3 p.m., the NWS says. It will be partly sunny, with a high near 44 degrees. The rain could transform into snow again around 7 p.m.
It could also snow on Saturday when the high temperature could reach 43 degrees.
Sunshine with a high temperature of 63 degrees is forecast for Sunday. It will be sunny with a high around 69 degrees on Monday, the NWS says.
Rain showers and thunderstorms are possible on Tuesday when high temperatures drop down into the 50s again.
