It was 65 degrees in Denver on Saturday. But you know what they say in Colorado. Wait a day, and the season could change. That’s what’s expected to happen tonight! Many areas in our state are expected to get inches and, in some places, feet of snow. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for Denver from 5 pm Tuesday until 5 pm Wednesday. The forecasters are calling for 8-12″ of snow for the Denver-Metro area.
Final @9NEWS snow forecast: most likely 8-12" for Denver.
Would be Denver's largest January snowstorm in at least 30 years.#9wx #COwx pic.twitter.com/SSUiVnhWKW
