Bitter cold in store for Denver, snow on the way as well

An arctic airmass like we haven't seen in quite some time is headed for Colorado, and will be fully entrenched come Monday night. The National Weather Service is now forecasting a high of -2 degrees on Tuesday. The last time we did not make it above zero for a high was way back in 1997! Single digits will return on Wednesday before finally breaking freezing again Thursday.

In addition to the cold, the NWS has issued a *winter weather advisory* for nearly all of eastern Colorado. At this point it looks like Denver can expect anywhere from 3 - 7 inches of snow from midday Monday through early Tuesday. Snow-favored locations to our south and west are looking at more like 5 - 10 inches from this storm.

While it appears that the bitter cold will be the major weather story of the next several days, please stay tuned for any changes to the going snowfall forecast.

Stay warm out there!
