Denver is set to experience a drastic change in weather over the next 10 days, with heavy snow expected in Colorado’s high country and a departure from the above-average temperatures seen recently. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for the northern and central mountain communities, warning of up to a foot of snow and gusty winds up to 60 mph.
While the Denver metro area is expected to mostly see rain with some flurries, areas like the Palmer Divide and the Foothills could experience a snow-rain mix. Higher elevations above 10,000 feet are likely to see heavier snow accumulation, with spots like Eisenhower Tunnel and Loveland Ski Area being the hardest hit.
In addition to the first storm expected on Tuesday, another round of snow is forecasted for late Wednesday into Thursday, potentially impacting the Rockies’ home opener on Friday. Temperatures will drop over the weekend, bringing another chance of snow to Denver.
