Denver, CO – Colorado residents should prepare for a mix of winter and spring weather this weekend as snow moves in Friday night, followed by a warm-up into the 70s by Monday. A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for the northern mountains through Friday evening, with light accumulations expected along the Front Range.
According to the National Weather Service, snowfall will begin late Friday and continue into early Saturday, primarily affecting the foothills and mountain regions, where 2-5 inches are expected.
