A wintry storm system will impact Colorado Wednesday morning into Thursday morning, but it’s not bringing much cold air to the party! This will lead to only minor impacts across the Denver Metro area as a mix of rain and snow is expected for most of the event, with a trend towards all snow at the tail-end as precipitation will be wrapping up. Greater travel impacts are expected in the Foothills where temperatures will be colder and up to 8 inches of snow may accumulate. We discuss the timing of the rain and snow, the expected snowfall totals for everyone and when travel may be most impacted.
