Denverites most likely won’t be getting a white Christmas on Wednesday, but there’s a slight chance of snow mixed in with rain showers in the evening, though it probably won’t be sticking around. The mountains, however, are a different story.
The Denver forecast calls for partly sunny skies with a higher near 52 degrees, with calm winds around 6 mph in the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder. The slight chance of rain and show showers is expected before 7 p.m., with the low around 25 degrees and calm winds up to 5 mph.
The weather service’s hazardous weather outlook predicts snow showers throughout the mountains into the evening, up to about 4 inches, with the Rabbit Ears Pass area receiving up to 7 inches. Roads are expected to be slick.
The Front Range and easter plains could also see some snow this afternoon and evening, with heavier snowfall over the eastern plains for an inch of snow and slippery roads, according to the weather service. Snow accumulation will likely be light if there’s any at all.
Snow showers to continue in the mountains thru this evening. Expect some slick roads.
Scattered rain & snow showers for eastern late this afternoon & evening. Little to no snow accumulation expected.
