Denver’s updated weather forecast and latest projected snow totals for Friday’s storm shows the potential for heavier snow bands to roll through the metro over the next few hours.
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Boulder said conditions could deteriorate around the evening commute home on Friday.
“If you’re looking for totals for the Front Range, it looks like we’ll have between 2 and 6 inches from Denver all the way up to Fort Collins with heavier amounts into the higher elevations,” said Denver7 Meteorologist Stacey Donaldson.
Ice has become an issue across the metro area. The moisture that moved in tonight began as freezing rain. Since our temperatures never went above freezing on Friday, the moisture just froze right when it hit surfaces across the Front Range.
A winter weather advisory is in effect for the Denver metro stretching just south to Castle Rock and north all the way through Fort Collins to the Wyoming border until 2 a.m. icy conditions are prime to cause accidents and personal injury from falling on icy sidewalks.
