Another California low is heading to the Rockies. This time around the system will travel to far south to have a huge impact on the Denver metro area. However, there may be light snow for the Wednesday afternoon drive.

We have a first alert weather day posted for Wednesday afternoon. Not for the amount of snow but, for the timing. We could see very light snow after about 2pm across the I-25 corridor thru the afternoon drive. Amounts expected will be very light. Only about 1/2" to 1". That could make for a few slick spots in and near foothill areas.

There is also, a slight chance that there may be a few sprinkles of rain over the northeastern plains.

The storm will have a much bigger impact on some of the southern mountains of Colorado. Especially in the San Juans where 1 to 2 feet may fall by Thursday.
