DENVER — We're in for a beautiful, starry night across the Front Range. Overnight lows will dip into the teens under mostly clear skies.
Look for mostly sunny skies to kick off your Wednesday but clouds will start to push in during the late afternoon and evening. Temperatures will top out in the mid 40s around the Denver metro.
Another storm will skirt across southern Colorado throughout the day on Wednesday ushering heavy snow and tough traveling conditions. Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for the San Juans and the Sangre de Cristos for 6 to 12 inches of new snow.
The snow will start in the southwestern corner of the state late tonight and will gradually move north and east throughout Wednesday.
The Denver metro area will be on the northern edge of the snow, so there's a chance for some light snow Wednesday night into early Thursday. You may see some wet/slushy roads for the Thursday morning commute, especially south along the Palmer Divide. Look for less than an inch of accumulation.
It's a quick system and clears out midday Thursday with partly cloudy skies by the afternoon. Daytime highs will be a bit cooler in the lower 40s.
Temperatures rebound Friday with highs in the mid 50s around the Denver metro, so it will be a warm and dry end to January!
Warmer weather arrives for the first weekend of February. Look for mid to upper 50s Saturday and Sunday under partly cloudy skies. It'll be perfect weather to take down the Christmas lights if they're still on the house!
So far, it looks like the mild weather sticks around early next week.
