Description
The 9NEWS Weather Impact Team has declared Wednesday a Weather Impact Day as a storm system brings snow and cold temperatures to Colorado.
The National Weather Service has posted Winter Storm Warnings across Colorado's central and eastern plains and Winter Weather Advisories for areas west and south of Denver.
Snow began falling Tuesday in Colorado's mountains, intensifying early Wednesday night in along Colorado's Front Range, foothills and the Denver metro area.
Light snow will continue through the first part of the day Wednesday before gradual clearing and a brief break between storms Thursday. For Douglas County and the Eastern Plains, that accumulating snow will stick around all day Wednesday and potentially Wednesday night, leading to the highest totals out there. High temperatures will remain chilly, in the 30s, on Wednesday in Denver.
Totals with this storm will vary. The foothills west and the Palmer Divide south of Denver will see several inches of snow, while areas north of Denver, including Fort Collins and Greeley, may only see a dusting to an inch or two of snow. The Palmer Divide and south will likely get inches of snowfall as well.
Roads across the region will be icy, snowy and slick throughout the Wednesday morning commute. The National Weather Service and Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) urged travelers to slow down and use extra caution.
Dozens of Colorado schools and businesses are closed Wednesday.
