Light snow ends this morning after a big storm for some

Denver weather forecast: Well some of us are waking up to a substantial amount of snow on this Saturday morning, while others only saw an inch or two of snowfall.

In the Denver-Boulder corridor, we saw 4-8 inches of snowfall. However, south of downtown Denver, we only saw a dusting to two inches of accumulation. The jet stream is overhead, which helped create localized bands of heavier snow overnight that favored the north side of the metro area. That meant there are sharp gradients in those snowfall totals from one side of the metro area to the other.

A Winter Weather Advisory is up until 9 a.m. this morning for the Denver metro area and the foothills. The snow is mostly over and done with, but we'll hold onto some light snow until mid-morning or so. With the high April sun angle, though, the snow accumulation is likely over and done with already.

It'll stay cloudy and dreary for the rest of the day, with only a chance for some drizzle and light rain or snow in the metro area. We'll hold onto some snow showers in the mountains as well. Southeastern Colorado will have the best chance for showers and even storms this afternoon, especially from Pueblo on south and east.

Watch for black ice tonight thanks to a combination of the melting snow and temperatures that'll tumble back into the upper 20s tonight!

Finally, though, we'll break out into the sunshine tomorrow with highs spiking into the 60s under mainly sunny skies, especially in the afternoon.

We'll be in the mid-70s on Monday ahead of a cold front on Tuesday that'll briefly drop temperatures, and we'll pop right back near 80 on Wednesday and Thursday ahead of an unsettled Friday and Saturday.

Stay warm today and hold on: The spring-like warmth is just around the corner!
