Today’s Forecast:

Snow totals
Snow totals from 4/19 - 4/20/2021

Snow fell hard last night from Denver down to Pueblo, but the accumulations were heaviest from the Palmer Divide to Denver.

Under the snow is a sheet of ice that will make early morning travel dangerous for most of the region.

We will be dry across the region today with temperatures warming into the 30s and 40s through the afternoon. Most icy roads should turn wet today, but a few areas could see a re-freeze tonight when lows dip into the 20s and teens.
