According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, light snowfall will develop over the Interstate 25 corridor and foothills Thursday morning and move south into the metro area by late morning. Between two and four inches of snow is expected to fall, with higher amounts possible in the foothills. Like Tuesday’s storm, the timing of snowfall is overlapping with the morning commute, creating travel headaches. Winds could gust up to 35 mph.
Denver will get its snow mainly before 4 p.m. Forecasters warn that it could be heavy at times, accumulating up to four inches. The temperature will top out at 28 degrees before falling to 12 degrees overnight.
This model forecast depicts how the band of snow will move across our area today. The focus for the heaviest snow will be the I-25 corridor and foothills with snowfall rates up to an inch per hour late this morning. Allow extra time to travel especially from 8am to noon.
