DENVER — Be ready for a slick and slow Tuesday morning commute as the latest round of cold and snow move into Colorado overnight.
A cold front will move into Colorado tonight and will bring snow and colder weather to the Denver metro area on Tuesday. This new storm should bring significant snowfall for the mountains, with around 8 to 12 inches in the northwestern mountains, 4 to 8 inches in the central mountains and around 2-5 inches for the Denver area through midday Tuesday.
It will also be very cold, with highs only in the 20s for the metro-area on Tuesday afternoon. As skies clear, temperatures will fall to the single digits early Wednesday.
After a very cold start on Wednesday, highs will climb back to the low to mid- 30s for the Denver area. The mountains will start well below zero, and climb into the low to mid-20s in the afternoon.
Thursday will be dry and milder across Colorado with highs in the low to mid-50s in Denver and across the eastern plains. In the mountains, expect sunshine and highs in the 30s to low 40s.
Another fast moving cold front will arrive on Friday. This next system will bring more snow to the mountains, but just windy and colder weather for Denver and the eastern plains.
The weekend will be dry and milder again, followed by the next storm Monday and Tuesday of next week.
