Denver, CO – A quick-moving winter system will bring snow to much of Colorado on Thursday, with light accumulations forecast for the Urban Corridor and adjacent plains.
According to the National Weather Service Denver/Boulder, snow is expected to begin Thursday morning in the mountains and will expand eastward through the afternoon and evening. Light snow may mix with rain in the plains late Thursday night before tapering off by early Friday.
Travelers along I-70 east of Denver and through the Palmer Divide should prepare for slick roads and potential delays. Snowfall totals are expected to remain light for lower elevations, but icy conditions may still impact commuters during the Thursday evening rush and early Friday morning hours. Mountain routes could see more hazardous conditions due to higher elevations and persistent snow.
Minimal impacts are expected in the Denver metro area, but caution is advised for drivers, especially in the foothills and areas with higher elevation. Motorists are urged to check cotrip.org for up-to-date road conditions and plan extra travel time where snow is forecast.
Light snow showers may linger into early Friday, with a return to mixed rain and snow in some lower-elevation areas by morning.
Stay weather-aware and drive safely.
