Denver, CO – Travelers across Colorado are urged to prepare as heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures are expected to disrupt plans starting Wednesday. A winter storm warning is in effect for the foothills and I-25 corridor, with accumulations of 10 to 20 inches in mountain areas and up to 6 inches in urban regions like Denver.

According to the National Weather Service, snow will begin in the foothills Tuesday night, intensifying into Wednesday morning. In Denver, rain will shift to wet snow by early Wednesday, potentially leaving 1 to 2 inches on roadways. Highways including I-70 and I-25 could see delays as icy conditions develop. Commuters should allow extra time and check weather updates before traveling.

The storm will taper off Wednesday afternoon, followed by frigid temperatures into Thanksgiving. Daytime highs will hover near 39°F Wednesday, dropping to 18°F overnight. Thanksgiving Day will see sunny skies, but temperatures remain chilly with a high of 41°F and lows plummeting to 16°F.

The extended forecast shows a clearer outlook heading into the weekend. Friday and Saturday will stay mostly sunny, with highs near 44°F and 40°F, respectively. However, travelers should be cautious, as lingering icy patches are possible in shaded areas.

Residents are encouraged to stock up on essentials, monitor local advisories, and delay nonessential travel during peak snow hours.
