Light snow is expected to linger throughout the early evening, mainly south of I-70, but will be over for the rest of the metro tonight.
We can expect shifting and calmer evenings.
Some roads remained mostly wet for much of the afternoon, but as temperatures dipped toward sunset, icy patches, especially south of Denver and in the foothills, were of concern.
Thursday morning will have dense to patchy fog, mainly north of Denver. By the afternoon, expect mostly sunny skies with highs in the upper 30s to low 40s across the metro.
Winds will be the bigger story as pressure drops over northeast Colorado, kicking up gusty west to northwest winds along the foothills and higher terrain, with gusts around 40 mph.
Heading into the weekend, snow chances could return to the mountains.
The I-70 corridor could pick up 3–9 inches between Friday night and Sunday. However, for Denver, it’ll be mostly dry and gradually warmer, with highs in the 50s.
