After a mild day, Denver is forecast to have up to four inches of snow Thursday, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder. The city is expected to see a 70-100% chance of precipitation, with snow likely to fall before 1 p.m.
Possible snow accumulation is between 2-4 inches, the weather service predicts.
Another chance of snow comes Thursday. Temperatures in the 50s arrive just in time for the weekend.
“The focus for the heaviest snow will be the I-25 corridor and foothills with snowfall rates up to an inch per hour late this morning,” the weather service said in a tweet. Drivers are asked to allow extra time, especially from 8 a.m.-noon.
The weekend, however, is expected to be filled with sunny days and warm temps. The weather service predicts a high of 45 degrees Friday, followed by temperatures in the 50s Saturday and Sunday.
