Denver weather: Blast of snow could lead to tricky evening commute

A storm Wednesday could dump as much as 6 inches of snow in Denver and possibly disrupt the evening commute, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder.

Though the day could see a high near 38 degrees with some sunshine, snow is expected to start falling as early as 2 p.m., the weather service predicts. There’s a 70% chance of precipitation, while possible daytime snow accumulation is between 1-3 inches of snow.

Snow is expected to fall until early Thursday, adding about another 3 inches of snow, the weather service says.

The weather service projects that the city and Denver International Airport could get 4-6 inches of snow, while Boulder and Castle Rock could see 6-8 inches.

Thursday’s forecast calls for milder conditions, with a high near 37 degrees and sunny skies, followed by temps in the 50s Friday and Saturday.
