DENVER – The first snow of the season fell in Denver on Saturday, the earliest of the last six years, the National Weather Service announced.
Denver International Airport, the city's official check-in station, received half an inch of snow as a cold front moved Friday night and Saturday.
It has not snowed in the city, but because it's done at the official check-in station, Saturday falls as the first snowfall of the season in Denver.
The first average snow in Denver is October 18th. The first snow of last year was October 9th and it is the first snow in Denver since 2012, on October 5th.
The snow arrived as part of an unusually cool weekend across Colorado. The highs will only be in the first 50 years with clouds and windy conditions.
Showers of rain and snow will be possible in the highlands, a few drops of rain are not out of the question for the foothills and the extreme western metropolitan area.
Intermittent downpours are expected Saturday with peaks only in the mid-1950s. Mountain snowflakes will again be possible, with a weekend build-up of 1 to 3 inches for higher altitudes.
Another possibility of snow is possible from Sunday evening to Monday morning while the depressions will reach the middle of the thirties.
