DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado and the Front Range are expected to see another round of snow starting on Thursday and lasting into Friday, according to the Pinpoint Weather team.
The Pinpoint Weather team has declared Friday a Pinpoint Weather Alert Day because of how the incoming snow will impact the morning commute.
The Front Range will get two quick rounds of snow, one on Thursday evening and again on Friday morning with slightly lower accumulation totals.

Timing, impacts of the snowfall
A rain-snow mix began on the Eastern Plains early Thursday. The best chance for metro rain and snow is overnight Thursday and early on the Friday morning commute. Snow will end from north to south later in the afternoon on Friday.
Roads will be wet in many places, and it could turn slushy in the foothills and metro after the sun goes down. The rain-snow mix will change to all snow quickly after sunset.
