The next storm system headed to Colorado will likely bring 6 inches or more 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.

Look for a widespread 4 to 8 inches of accumulation, with 10 inches or more possible in spots as well. This looks like a significant winter storm, and likely to be one of our biggest November snowstorms in recent memory.

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. 

• THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy with light snow through the day, high 35. Cloudy with flurries overnight, low 25.
• FRIDAY: Cloudy with heavy snow developing around noon, high 36. Mostly cloudy with snow likely overnight, low 29.
• SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy with morning snow likely before clearing late, high 45. Partly cloudy overnight, low 32.
• SUNDAY:  Partly to mostly sunny and warmer, high 54. Partly cloudy overnight, low 32.
• MONDAY:  Partly to mostly sunny and warmer, high 56. Partly cloudy overnight, low 34.
• TUESDAY: Clouds increase and mild, high 54. Cloudy overnight with a chance for a rain or snow shower, low 31.

• Be aware that accumulating snow, ice, or wind could cause limbs to break and fall at any time.
• Check to make sure the tree is safe and clear of all utility lines prior to removing snow.
• Do not attempt to shake snow off a tree if a utility line is going through its branches or is within contact distance.
• If the tree is clear of utility lines, use a broom to remove as much snow as possible from branches by brushing off or gently shaking. Avoid large, rapid movement as this could cause the limb to break.
• Do not attempt to climb a tree or use a ladder to reach higher limbs.

If it appears the tree has fallen on powerlines, it’s best to leave it alone and wait for the utility to come and clear it.
