Snow falls across Denver metro area

A strong cold from has dropped temperatures in Colorado bringing chances of snow through Saturday morning.

The 9NEWS Weather Impact Team has issued a Weather Impact Alert on Friday and Saturday morning as Colorado will see snow to begin the Easter weekend. Winter Weather Advisories have been issued for much of western Colorado.

It will snow most of Friday in Colorado, with most accumulations coming during the pre-dawn and evening hours due to the high sun angle this time of year and near-freezing temperatures.

Roads will be slick at times Friday morning and Friday evening, but roads will remain mostly wet during the day on Friday.

In Colorado's mountains, snow continues all day on Friday. Travel on Interstate 70 through the mountains will be rough all day on Friday, and it won't really improve until later Saturday in the high country.

In all, we're calling for 6-14 inches in the mountains of Colorado and 2-5 inches in Denver, with higher amounts in the foothills — 4-12 inches, depending on your exact location.

This spring snowstorm will be a potential branch-snapper of a heavy, wet snowstorm, so be sure to shake those trees.

Colorado looks to clear out for Easter Sunday and warm up into next week.
