DENVER — Bundle up, my friends! We are in for another chilly February week as temperatures drop across the state and another round of snow moves in.
More moderate to heavy snow will continue in the mountains overnight. Winds will gust up to 40 mph will make for dangerous conditions, with blowing and drifting snow, especially over mountain passes. Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories remain in effect until 5am Tuesday. This system will bring light snow to the Denver metro and Eastern Plains overnight into Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, another arctic front will plow into Eastern Colorado overnight pushing cold air into the Denver metro area. This cold airmass will affect much of the region through Thursday morning. It will also bring light snow to parts of the area, particularly over the northern plains. Temperatures will be well below freezing, and areas to the northeast of Denver will experience the coldest conditions, with lows dropping into sub-zero territory.
Strong winds will make it feel even colder, so it is important to bundle up if you need to be outside. Keep in mind that there could be a round of fog forming in some spots, especially in the colder air.
An Exteme Cold Warning is in effect until 11am Thursday for far Eastern Colorado as wind chill values could dip as low as -30 degrees. A Cold Weather Advisory is in effect for Akron, Limon and southern Lincoln county for wind chill values as low as -25 degrees.
As we head into Tuesday, the cold and snow will continue. A wave of snow will move across the area, with some snow accumulations possible for the far plains. Though snowfall amounts will generally be light, localized heavier snow may fall in some places due to the presence of bands of snow. Daytime highs will be in the teens and low 20s for the I-25 corridor.
We'll see partly sunny skies on Wednesday and then another round of light snow on Thursday.
By Friday, temperatures will begin to rise and we'll see more melting into the weekend. Look for partly cloudy skies and highs in the 40s on Friday, low 50s Saturday with low 60s Sunday!
