Snow and cold blast finishes Colorado workweek with accumulation in mountains and the Denver metro area
The third storm of the week blasts through Colorado on Friday, bringing in much colder temperatures and more snow. This time around not only will the mountains pick up lots snow, but Denver and the Eastern Plains may pick up light snow before the weekend arrives.
Friday is a First Alert Weather Day as colder air pushing in from the north mixes it up with another Pacific storm bringing in much needed moisture over the region.
Let’s start with the Denver metro area. A surge of cold air will keep high temperatures around the area in the low to middle 30s for the last day of the workweek.
There will be just enough moisture pushing in by late morning to get light snow going here and there. Most areas will see an inch or less of snowfall from the brief blast of wintry weather.
The mountains will see another helping of much-needed snowfall. This will be on top of areas that saw anywhere from 6 inches all the way up to over 2 feet from previous storms this week. Wolf Creek was the big winner with 28 inches of snow — with more to come Friday.
Purgatory ski area got 25 inches, Silverton had 23, Crested Butte had 22 and Beaver Creek and Vail each had 13 inches of new snow.
There are winter weather advisories and winter storm warnings for many western mountains through Friday night. Some areas may see up to another foot of snow in the southwest.
Other mountain areas including areas in and around Summit County will also see fresh snow before we get to Saturday morning.
Colorado’s avalanche danger is currently rated high for many mountain areas.
For the first time in the team’s history, Altitude Sports is broadcasting Denver Nuggets home games in Spanish. Kroenke Sports and Entertainment announced it has contracted a team to broadcast its games in Spanish for the playoffs.
“I think that is what the public wanted,” said Ivan De La Garza, producer for the broadcast team.
A team of three people, two commentators and a producer, sit in a press box at the top of Ball Arena. Their commentary is then synced with the traditional Altitude broadcast video and shared on the Altitude Plus application.
“With the Nuggets winning in the last five years, there is a tremendous amount of following from Latino people trying to listen to and watch the games in Spanish,” said Andres Casas, color commentator for the broadcast.
Casas said he strives to bring the same energy fans get during soccer broadcasts into the basketball broadcasts.
“That excitement that gets you. We want people to feel they are at the game,” Casas said.
“It has been so amazing to be a part of the Spanish broadcast for the Nuggets. I have been a fan of the Nuggets for my whole life,” said Jena Garcia, play-by-play commentator.
Garcia said it has been a dream come true to help bring this broadcast to her community.
“I’ve always desired to hear a Spanish broadcast, just as a fan. To be a part of it is just incredible,” Garcia said.
Those working in the broadcast said they are honored to help expand the reach of the Nuggets and sports in accessing diverse communities.
“We love sports. We are passionate, we are loud. We like to get together and enjoy sports,” De La Garza said.
“The Nuggets have a huge following, especially on the Spanish side. So, it is great for them to be able to listen to what is going on, game by game, especially into the playoffs,” Casas said.
“It is just another step of access that they are getting to be a fan of basketball,” Garcia said.
