CBS Newsnation

Key Points:

  • After a period of record-breaking warmth, Denver is forecasted to experience accumulating snow starting late Wednesday night, with snow spreading eastward by Thursday afternoon.
  • The Denver metro area is expected to see light to moderate snow Thursday night into early Friday, which will produce the majority of snow accumulation.
  • Snowfall will end between late Friday morning and early afternoon, limiting overall totals due to the storm's fast movement.
  • Colder overnight temperatures will result in lighter, fluffier snow with a higher snow-to-liquid ratio (15:1 to 20:1), potentially leading to 5-6 inches of snow from about 0.30 inches of liquid moisture.
  • A detailed snow accumulation map has not been released yet,
