Denver, CO – A brutal cold snap continues to sweep Colorado, with subzero temperatures expected Tuesday night in the mountains and valleys. Residents in the plains and urban corridor will face lows ranging from 6 to 18 degrees, while the foothills could drop as low as zero.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Denver, isolated snow showers are expected overnight in higher elevations, though no significant accumulation is forecast. Wednesday will bring some relief, with highs reaching 45 degrees in Denver under mostly sunny skies.
Midweek warming will give way to another cold front late Friday, bringing a higher chance of snow into the weekend. The heaviest accumulation is expected in the Front Range foothills, with forecasts calling for several inches of snow. Low temperatures on Saturday could drop near zero, especially in higher elevations.
Residents are urged to bundle up and limit outdoor exposure, as frostbite can occur quickly in extreme conditions. Those traveling into the mountains should be prepared for icy roads and reduced visibility. The NWS advises carrying winter survival kits in vehicles and staying updated on weather alerts.
This week’s forecast highlights the region’s unpredictable winter. With a mix of clear skies and potential snowfall, Coloradans are reminded to remain vigilant and prepared.
