**Denver, Colorado** – Denver is bracing for a major snowstorm this week, with up to a foot of snow expected to fall in the city by Friday morning. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for several counties in the Denver metro area, warning of potentially hazardous travel conditions.
The first snow of the season hit Denver on Tuesday, accumulating nearly 2 inches by the evening. However, the worst of the storm is yet to come, with the heaviest snowfall expected to occur in the southern and southwestern parts of the metro area. Some areas south of Denver, including Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, and Parker, could see between 7 and 17 inches of snow by Friday morning.
Meanwhile, Colorado’s mountains are facing a much heavier snowstorm, with over 3 feet of snow forecast for higher elevations by Friday morning. The NWS has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and a Winter Weather Advisory for the San Juan Mountains.
The NWS advises residents to be prepared for challenging travel conditions, particularly during Wednesday morning and evening commutes. The southern foothills and east-central plains could experience near-blizzard conditions throughout the day.
