Denver, CO – A powerful Arctic blast is set to impact Denver and much of Colorado next week, bringing snow, freezing temperatures, and dangerous wind chills. Residents should prepare for difficult travel conditions and extreme cold as early as Sunday night.
According to the National Weather Service, snow is expected Sunday evening into Monday, with accumulation of up to two inches possible. Winds will increase Monday night, reducing visibility and making road conditions hazardous. By Tuesday morning, temperatures will plummet, with wind chills approaching single digits.
The forecast calls for additional snow Tuesday, with highs only reaching the low 20s. A brief break in precipitation is expected Wednesday, but another round of snow could arrive by Thursday. Drivers should exercise caution on I-25 and I-70, especially during morning and evening commutes.
The extreme cold poses risks for frostbite and hypothermia. Officials advise residents to dress in layers, limit outdoor exposure, and check on vulnerable individuals. Pet owners should ensure animals are kept indoors during the coldest periods.
