Colorado commuters are stepping into a sharp February chill this morning as light snow begins to fall across Denver. A thin coating is developing on colder surfaces, and bridges along I-25 and I-70 could turn slick before midday.
According to the National Weather Service in Denver/Boulder, snow is likely today with up to 2 inches possible in the mountains and foothills, and lighter amounts across the metro area. Gusts up to 40 mph are expected in exposed areas, with stronger gusts near the foothills.
Slippery roads may linger through the morning commute.
Temperatures sit near 14 degrees at Buckley Space Force Base, with calm winds early. North winds increase later this morning, pushing wind chills into the single digits. Highs reach only 35 degrees despite brief breaks in the clouds.
Allow extra time if traveling across elevated roadways.
Snow showers taper this evening, with lows near 18 degrees. Any melting this afternoon could refreeze after sunset, creating patchy icy spots for early Saturday drivers.
