Today’s Forecast:
Across the Pikes Peak Region, we'll continue to see snow flurries, freezing fog and drizzle this morning. This will lead to slick and icy spots on some roadways and sidewalks, so please be extra careful out there. Otherwise, the main story during the day will be the cold, with highs only warming into the 20s and 30s.

Tonight we'll see another round of snow move into Southern Colorado. The heaviest snow is expected to fall along and south of Highway 50. Some areas could see more than a half a foot of snow. Lows tonight will drop down to the single digits and teens as snow tapers off by very early Sunday.

Highs will be a little warmer on Monday ahead of the storm before turning colder again on Tuesday.
