Another cold surge of air along with a weak moisture packed disturbance from the west coast are teaming up for a blast of wet, April snow for the weekend.
Rain changed to snow Friday evening and there will be accumulations noted through Saturday morning across the Front Range.
As temperatures will be dropping to freezing or colder pushing into the morning more snow will stack up overnight Friday into the mid morning on Saturday.

Snow amounts will vary around the Denver Metro area and surrounding suburbs. Most of the accumulations will be on the grassy surfaces with smaller amounts on the roads to kick off the weekend. The Denver metro area may see 1 to 4 inches of snow pushing south into into Castle Rock and north into Fort Collins. The foothills west of Denver may see 3 to 6 inches of snow with larger amounts heading into the mountains.
Highs across the state on Saturday will be cooler over the northern and northeastern corner of Colorado. With 70s holding on out over the western side of our home state.
Skies should clear by Sunday with warmer temperatures moving in to kick off another week of warming.

DENVER (AP) — A Frontier Airlines plane hit a pedestrian on the runway of the Denver International Airport during takeoff, airport authorities said, sparking an engine fire and forcing passengers to evacuate.
The plane, on route from Denver to Los Angeles International Airport, “reported striking a pedestrian during takeoff at DEN at approximately 11:19 p.m. on Friday,” the airport’s official X account wrote.
Neither the airport nor the airline has disclosed the pedestrian’s condition.
“We’re stopping on the runway,” the pilot tells the control tower according to the site ATC.com. “We just hit somebody. We have an engine fire.”
The pilot tells the air traffic controller they have “231 souls” on board and that and “individual was walking across the runway.”
The air traffic controller responds that they are “rolling the trucks now” before the pilot tells the tower they “have smoke in the aircraft. We are going to evacuate on the runway.”
Frontier Airlines said in a statement flight 4345 was the one involved in the collision and that “smoke was reported in the cabin and the pilots aborted takeoff.” It was not clear whether the smoke was linked to the crash with the pedestrian.
“The Airbus A321 was carrying 224 passengers and seven crew members,” the airline said. “We are investigating this incident and gathering more information in coordination with the airport and other safety authorities.”
Passengers were then evacuated via slides and the emergency crew bused them to the terminal.
Denver Airport said the National Transportation Safety Board had been notified and that runway 17L, where the incident took place, will remain closed while an investigation is conducted.
