Another round of Denver snow may arrive this week

Snow falls over Number 38, the RiNo bar where Democrats are holding an election-night watch party. Nov. 5, 2024.

After a snowy Election Day left several inches of snow, Denver and other parts of Colorado could still see more precipitation this week.

Snow was continuing in the area Wednesday, with the potential of a couple more inches around the metro for the day.

Road conditions were expected to "slowly improve through the day," per the National Weather Service. But the Wednesday evening commute could get slippery as roads refreeze after sunset.

The weather has had a heavier impact in eastern Colorado. On Wednesday afternoon, Interstate 70 was closed between Limon and Burlington in eastern Colorado.

Denver, the western suburbs and Boulder are on a winter weather advisory until 11 p.m. Wednesday. Parts of the Eastern Plains were under a more serious winter storm warning.

On Thursday and Friday, another round of snow might hit the metro area and the Eastern Plains.

"It could be nothing or a significant storm," NWS warned in a forecast. "Increasing potential for heavy snow but we're not sure exactly where the storm is going."

Overall, the forecast for potential snow is expected to be lighter in the Denver metro, and potentially much heavier in eastern Colorado.

An NWS forecast released on Wednesday morning predicted 4 to 6 inches for Denver through mid-Friday, and potentially higher totals along Interstate 70 to the east, as well as in the southern metro toward Castle Rock. The early forecast warned of totals as high as 18 inches in Burlington, near the eastern border of the state.

The southern reaches of Colorado could also see high snow totals, ranging up to 24 inches around Trinidad.

This week's storm cycle brought the city's first official snowfall of the season, measuring 4 inches at the airport as of 5 a.m. Wednesday, per Chris Binachi of 9News. As of Wednesday afternoon, snow totals reported to the NWS ranged from roughly 3 to 10 inches for Denver and its suburbs.
