Winter Weather Advisories in Effect Across Colorado
Denver, CO – December 13, 2023 – A winter weather alert has been issued as steady snowfall in Colorado’s high country has led to slick, snow-covered roads, causing slow travel for morning commuters on Wednesday. As snow begins to clear from the region, sunny conditions are expected to gradually improve road safety throughout the day. Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings remain in effect for the mountains and parts of the Front Range.
According to reports from CBS Colorado, snowfall totals across Front Range neighborhoods have ranged from 1 to 5 inches, with Castle Rock and Boulder receiving the highest amounts. For those planning to head to the mountains post-holiday, conditions will become ideal over the coming days as sunshine and dry weather return, providing excellent opportunities to enjoy fresh powder in ski areas.
As temperatures dropped into the teens overnight, wet roads in the Denver metro area and the Front Range may freeze, potentially creating icy conditions by Thanksgiving morning. Looking ahead, while sunny skies will return by Thursday afternoon, temperatures are expected to remain cooler than average, peaking only in the 30s on Thanksgiving Day.
