Wintry Weather

Most of the region woke up to a fresh blanket of snow this morning! While temperatures finally got cold enough for rain to change to snow around 7am this morning, most of Denver's precip fell in the form of rain through much of the night. Snow showers, and rain mixed with snow will continue this morning - slowly tapering from north to south as we move through the day. You can see in the image below that most of the heavy precip has already shifted south of Denver. Areas west and south of town continue under a winter weather advisory until 6pm this evening for a total of 3 - 8 inches of snow. In Denver accumulations should stay on the light side. It is likely that the dusting of the white stuff many of us see out our windows this morning will be about as much snow as we will get from this system.
Mild weather will be quick to return after this little taste of winter. Temperatures will remain cool tomorrow with highs in the low 50s - but by this weekend we will be back in the warm 60s!
