Cold blast to invade Colorado this week with heavier snow ahead
Expect colder temperatures and more snow this week. Accumulating snow is expected in Denver and across the Eastern Plains Tuesday night into Wednesday. First Alert Meteorologist Alex Lehnert says as of Tuesday morning Denver International Airport has received a tenth of an inch of snow.
Heavier snow will fall Tuesday night
Winter weather advisories go into effect at 2 p.m. on Tuesday through 11 a.m. on Wednesday. The advisories span from the Denver area, up I-25 to Fort Collins, south to Pueblo, and West from Aspen to the Kansas state line. Expect 2 to 6 inches of snow for much of the area under the advisory according to Lehnert. She says the Foothills could expect up to 10 inches of snow.
On Tuesday, expect high teens to low 20-degree temperatures along the Eastern Plains and Front Range of Colorado. Lehnert says it felt like 10 below zero Tuesday morning in Denver. Meanwhile, the western half of Colorado is a bit warmer.
Wednesday expect sub-zero windchill. Even colder air moves into Colorado on Wednesday afternoon. This cold and snowy stretch lasts thorough Thursday and that's why Lehnert has declared Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday as First Alert Weather Alert Days.
