An initial snow forecast is showing the possibility of eight to 12 inches in the Denver area, with four to six inches landing in Colorado Springs and six to eight inches in the area of Walsenburg.

Strong winds will also hit, likely up to 40 miles per hour. Slick roads and poor visibility may make travel difficult.
