DENVER — It's pretty quiet early Saturday morning, but the storm is on the move and we'll start to see a wintry mix across the Denver metro area later this morning. That mix will turn to heavy snow this afternoon!
We are still anticipating feet of snow along the Front Range, with the heaviest snow in the foothills and northern Front Range mountains.
Accumulations will still be impressive near Denver, but likely around 12 to 18 inches by Sunday night.

A Winter Storm Warning will be in effect from early Saturday until Monday morning for all of the Denver metro area, the plains and the mountains. Expect heavy snow, low visibility, and dangerous driving conditions this weekend. Many roads will likely become impassable.
The heaviest snow should fall Saturday afternoon through Sunday afternoon and gradually taper off to flurries Sunday night.
It appears that Denver could see 18-24 inches of snow. The foothills and mountains east of the Continental Divide may receive 24-48 inches of snow. A few mountain locations will end up with around 60 inches of snow! The eastern plains will have a mix of rain and snow, but should get at least an inch of welcome moisture (melted total).
