On the heels of some snow melting Wednesday, Thursday’s weather around Denver will be in transition ahead of a weekend snow storm.

Denver residents can expect mostly sunny skies Thursday with a high near 49, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder. A south southwest wind is forecast to blow between 7 to 10 mph, becoming west in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 16 mph.

Tonight, Mile High City dwellers will see a 10% chance of snow after 5 p.m., with partly cloudy conditions and a low around 26 and a south wind around 6 mph.

Periods of moderate snow continue until this evening for areas near Rabbit Ears Pass. Slick roads are possible along mountain passes.
