Denver was still a winter wonderland Wednesday morning, with most of the snow from Tuesday’s storm still on the ground after a cold night. Temperatures dipped to 11 degrees overnight, and the snow that’s already fallen should be joined Thursday by some new flakes.
Today will be dry but another quick-moving system will bring snow to our area on Thursday. Snow amounts will generally be light (1-3") although a couple spots could pick up higher amounts under heavier snow bands. Expect some impacts to travel.

According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, Denver will top out at 42 degrees on Wednesday. The clear day and evening will have a low of 19 degrees. Fog is possible Wednesday morning in low-lying areas across the plains.
On Thursday, a storm system will move into Colorado, bringing light snow to the metro area, foothills and northern mountains. The snow is expected to fall later in the morning and into the early afternoon as the temperature reaches 31 degrees.
There’s a 70% chance of precipitation downtown with up to three inches of snow possible. The foothills could get up to five inches, and winds could gust near 20 mph. Temperatures will again plummet Thursday night, with a low of 12 degrees in Denver, but some suburbs could see lows near zero.
Friday will begin a dry weekend, but due to the week’s snow, Denver finally had a good month of perception after drought conditions have taken back over. The workweek will end with a sunny 46 degree-day day.
The weekend should see highs in the 50s.
