SNOWFALL TIMELINE

According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, light snow will begin in the mountains Tuesday and move across the plains through the evening and overnight hours into Wednesday.

In Denver, a rain and snow mix is possible for the Tuesday evening commute home with the majority of snow moving in during the evening and overnight hours potentially making for a slick Wednesday morning commute.

NWS Boulder said Monday there is still uncertainty about total snowfall amounts with this system but accumulating snow is probable for all areas.

Denver7 morning meteorologist Lisa Hidalgo said if the storm system moves north by a few miles, it could change Denver’s snowfall forecast.
