Light snow across the Denver metro was expected to clear by mid-morning Friday, though near-freezing temperatures were expected to continue throughout the day.
Meteorologist Kenley Bonner expected less than an inch of snow to accumulate across the city and suburbs Friday morning, with the foothills seeing as much as two inches of snowfall.
“Looks like we are getting one final push right now, and then it is diminishing after this,” she said at about 6 a.m. The National Weather Service at Boulder issued a hazardous weather alert that warned of slick roads across the metro through about 11 a.m.
Temperatures around the freezing mark should continue through the day, and roads could refreeze Friday evening, Bonner said. Denver was forecasted for a high temperature of 34 degrees Friday before sinking into the teens overnight.
Gusty winds were also expected Friday that could cause blowing snow and visibility issues on Interstate 70 east of Denver, she said.
The city will see a slight warm up over the weekend, with high temperatures in the mid-40s Saturday and mid-50s on Sunday coupled with sunny skies.
