DENVER — Heavy snow has been falling in the mountains with up to a foot of snow along and north of I-70 and 1 to 3 feet of snow in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado
This storm system is a very moist one from California. The mountains have intercepted most of the moisture, while scattered rain showers are still likely for Denver and the eastern plains.
Thursday will be cool with some mountain snow showers and a few rain showers on the plains. More snow will move into the mountains on Friday, with a few more rain showers for the plains.
It will turn colder this weekend and there will be a better chance of snow in Denver Saturday night and Sunday. Highs will drop into the 40s on Saturday, with some upper 30s and low 40s on Sunday.
Milder weather will return by the middle of next week.
