DENVER (CBS4) – An upper level storm system is taking a southerly track across Colorado through Wednesday morning heavy snow to mountain ranges like the Sangre de Cristo's and much less to rentals farther north most of the urban corridor.
For Denver and most areas below 6,200 feet, the precipitation will start to rain Tuesday afternoon and then start changing into the snow 5-6 pm the grass, rooftops, and vehicles.
Location and location of the metro area (that are above about 6,200 feet), will likely be more important. The Castle Rock and Parker areas will likely get 2-5 inches while the 285 Corridor Highway from Conifer to South Park will likely be in the 5-10 inch range. Up to 10 inches of snow is also possible on the higher foothills of Boulders and Larger Counties and on the mountains east of Vail Pass. Much less snow is expected west of Vail Pass.
The snow will end up along with the Front Range early Wednesday morning and will be followed by gradually clearing the skies with chilly temperatures in the afternoon. It will take a long time for the snow in southern Colorado but we should be dry almost for Trick-or-Treaters. Temperatures in the metro area will be mainly in the 30s Wednesday evening which is near normal for the last night of October.
Additional light snow is possible in the mountains. Plan on much of the same for the weekend with highs in the 50s on Saturday and Sunday. The kickoff temperatue for the Broncos at Mile High on Sunday should be near 57 °.
