Denver, CO
Colorado weather: Icy roads, light snow along I-70 corridor; cold, windy conditions in Denver
Morning drivers can expect icy roads and light snow along the Interstate 70 Corridor in the mountains on Tuesday morning, National Weather Service forecasters said.
Summit County and other high-elevation areas could see another 1 to 3 inches of snowfall Tuesday morning, bringing the total snow count up to 4 to 8 inches, NWS forecasters said.
“Lesser amounts to the north, but a nice bonus for ski country,” forecasters said.
The snow could still make its way to the Denver area before 11 a.m. Tuesday and Aurora, Centennial, Golden, Highlands Ranch, Littleton and Parker could see less than an inch of snow accumulation, according to NWS snow forecasts. Snow isn’t expected to stick anywhere else in the metro area.
Denver and the Eastern Plains are also forecast to see windy, cold weather throughout Tuesday as temperatures drop 10 to 15 degrees below normal, forecasters said.
The Denver area is forecast to see temperature highs in the mid-30s Tuesday before dropping into the teens overnight, according to NWS forecasters.
“Temperatures will fall to the coldest readings so far this season tonight across southern Colorado,” NWS forecasters said.
In areas of the Eastern Plains not covered by snow, fire danger will be elevated Tuesday due to the gusty winds and dry air, NWS forecasters said in a Hazardous Weather Outlook.
Strong winds of up to 60 mph will continue Wednesday over the Front Range and foothills and dry weather will continue through Saturday, forecasters said in the outlook.
Starting Sunday, multiple storm systems will bring snow to Colorado that could last through mid-week — prime time for Thanksgiving-related travel.
How much snow will fall ahead of Thanksgiving, how long it will last and whether it will stick mostly in the mountains or spread across the Front Range and Eastern Plains remains unknown, forecasters said.

The Green Bay Packers (9-4-1) dropped from first to second in the NFC North and from the second seed to the seventh seed in the NFC after losing to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
Significant injuries suffered against the Broncos will mean lasting implications are felt past Sunday. The Packers are also now a long shot to catch the Los Angeles Rams for the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and it’ll take a win next Saturday night in Chicago to retake control in the NFC North.
But the Packers are still in a good spot in terms of making the postseason field, especially after the Detroit Lions, Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys all lost on Sunday.
NFC playoff picture after Week 15
- Los Angeles Rams (11-3, 6-3 vs. NFC)
- Chicago Bears (10-4, 6-3 vs. NFC)
- Philadelphia Eagles (9-5, 7-3 vs. NFC)
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-7, 5-5 vs. NFC)
- Seattle Seahawks (11-3, 6-3 vs. NFC)
- San Francisco 49ers (10-4, 8-2 vs. NFC)
- Green Bay Packers (9-4-1, 7-2-1 vs. NFC)
Others: Lions (8-6), Panthers (7-7), Cowboys (6-7-1)
According to The Athletic’s NFL playoff simulator, the Packers have a 92 percent chance of making the postseason with three weeks to go. They become all but guaranteed of a playoff spot if they can beat the Bears in Chicago in Week 16. In fact, just one win over the final three weeks could be enough for the Packers to get in.
The NFC North winner looks like a coinflip. The Athletic’s model gives the Packers a 48 percent chance of winning the division right now, and it would go up to 82 percent with a win over the Bears on Saturday. Chicago took down the Cleveland Browns with ease in bitter cold temps at Soldier Field on Sunday.
The Athletic’s model also gives the Packers a 98 percent chance of being the No. 2 seed if Matt LaFleur’s team can win out. That will be much easier said than done without Micah Parsons (and potentially Christian Watson) down the stretch.
Two very possibilities for the Packers: Win the NFC North and host the Bears in the NFC Wild Card Round, or get in as the No. 7 seed and go to Chicago to play the Bears in the NFC Wild Card Round. A third round of the rivalry is increasingly possible in January.
Packers remaining games
Nothing easy here. The Bears, Ravens and Vikings all won Sunday. The Bears and Ravens won comfortably; the Vikings upset the Cowboys — who desperately needed to win — in Dallas. The Bears and Ravens are both playing to win division titles. The Vikings are a dangerously talented spoiler team, and winning at U.S. Bank Stadium is never easy. The Athletic’s model gives the Packers roughly a 40 percent chance of making the postseason even with an 0-3 finish. The Lions are the biggest threat to pass the Packers in the event they finish 0-3.
It appears the Packers can clinch a playoff spot next week with a win over the Bears and a Steelers win over the Lions.
It’s time for the AFC’s #1 team to meet the NFC’s #2. Today the Denver Broncos host the Green Bay Packers in a key late-season inter-conference matchup that could have playoff seeding implications for both teams.
In Denver, the Broncos will be trying to hold on to the top spot in the AFC and keep their impressive win streak rolling. Denver has won ten straight games, some of them in fairly ridiculous fashion, but they sit at 11-2, sharing the top record in the NFL with the New England Patriots, who are just behind them in the playoff picture based on conference record.
The Packers, meanwhile, want to hold on to the lead in the NFC North before they have their rematch with the Chicago Bears next Saturday night. Green Bay sits behind only the Los Angeles Rams in the playoff race in the NFC, and they want to return to the Central time zone with that lead intact.
