In less than 24 hours, Denver could go from having 90-degree weather to a potentially historic and dangerous snowstorm.
Snowfall amounts could be as high as two to three feet in the higher elevations, and up to eight inches in the city of Denver, according to the National Weather Service office in Boulder.
"This is certainly going to be an impactful storm, even if there aren't any records," said NWS Boulder meteorologist Zach Hiris. The last few weeks have been unseasonably warm in Denver, leading to a lot of new tree growth, which won't be able to hold up to even a few inches of heavy, wet snow. Avalanches could also be a concern, as new snow falls on partially melted snow from the recent warm weather in the Colorado mountains.
