DENVER — Cue the fog horn! It'll be another night of dense fog across the northern Denver metro area and along the northeastern plains. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until 10am Saturday for a quarter to a half-mile visibility. Take it slow if you have any early morning drives!

Freezing fog will persist through most of the morning across large portions of the plains and urban corridor. The fog will be dense in spots, with visibility down to 1/4 mile locally. Dense Fog Advisories remain in effect through 10am. pic.twitter.com/R01Xiy5Vxw

Another storm hits the mountains Saturday, starting mid-morning, delivering more fresh powder to the ski resorts. The Denver metro area and Eastern Plains could see light snow showers Saturday late afternoon/evening into Sunday morning. So far, it looks like about 1 to 4 inches in the city with 3 to 6 inches of new snow along the northeastern plains.

The National Weather Service in Boulder was forecasting "limited to no accumulation" west of I-25, with more accumulation expected on the northeastern plains.

Snow will develop later in the day, with slick roads likely by this evening for the mountains and plains. Limited accumulations expected for areas roughly west of I-25. A few heavier bands possible in the northeast plains, along with brief freezing drizzle this PM. #COw pic.twitter.com/t8jK9zVRs6

Winter Weather Advisories will go into effect Saturday afternoon along the northern and central mountains and continue through Sunday afternoon. Look for 4 to 8 inches of new snow along with strong 50+ mph wind gusts! The mountain passes will be tough to travel on Saturday night.

We'll have a few flurries Sunday morning with some clearing in the afternoon. It'll be a chilly day with temperatures in the mid 20s at kickoff at the Broncos game.

We'll get a brief break from the snow Sunday into Monday afternoon before another system moves into the state. Look for light snow and chilly temperatures Monday night into Tuesday along the Front Range. Stay tuned for more details as the storm gets closer!
