Significant winter storm continues in Denver area

DENVER — The 9NEWS Weather Impact Team issued a Weather Impact Day from Thursday through Saturday morning for a significant snowstorm.

The next storm system headed to Colorado will likely bring 6 to 14 inches of snow on Friday and Saturday.

The steadier snow moves into the Denver area late Friday morning, with moderate-to-heavy snow likely Friday afternoon and on Friday night and into Saturday morning.

Denver, Boulder and most of the metro area are under a Winter Storm Warning from 5 a.m. Friday to noon Saturday. 

Look for a widespread 6 to 14 inches of accumulation. This looks like a significant winter storm and likely to be one of our biggest November snowstorms in recent memory.

This looks to be heavier and wetter snow, which will make it difficult to shovel and could bring down small branches as well, especially in higher accumulation areas.

Colorado will finally get rid of the snow on Saturday morning and dry out and melt out starting on Saturday afternoon, with quieter weather Sunday through Tuesday of next week. 

Get those snow shovels ready – you’ll need them.
