Denver’s weather forecast shows potential snow totals ranging from 2 to 6 inches or more for the next big weather maker blowing through the metro starting Friday through the day Saturday, according to the latest weather models, but there remains uncertainty as to how much snow will fall in the metro.
Denver’s potential snow fall predictions continued to change on Thursday with Denver7 Chief Meteorologist Mike Nelson estimating between 3 to 6 inches of snow for the lower elevations along the Front Range.
“A pretty decent little snow maker,” said Nelson. “Over the weekend cold and next week a little bit milder.”
Denver, along with the entire metro area and communities north through Fort Collins will go under a winter storm watch Friday afternoon through Saturday night, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Boulder.
“Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations between 4 and 8 inches with locally higher amounts up to 12 inches possible. This includes the Front Range Foothills, Palmer Divide, Urban Corridor and adjacent plains,” said the NWS in the weather alert.
