Denver, CO – An Arctic cold front is gripping Colorado, bringing snow and dangerously low wind chills across the state, including the Denver metro area and I-25 corridor. Commuters should prepare for slick roads, while residents face wind chills as low as -25°F through Thursday morning.

According to the National Weather Service, a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 11 a.m. Wednesday, with light snow adding up to an inch in accumulation. Another Cold Weather Advisory takes effect Wednesday at 8 p.m. and lasts until 8 a.m. Thursday, warning of subzero wind chills. Unprotected skin can develop frostbite within 30 minutes in these conditions.

High temperatures Wednesday will only reach 13°F in Denver, with lows dropping to -8°F overnight. Thursday brings some relief with sunny skies and a high near 39°F, but more snow is possible by Friday night.

Travelers along I-25 and I-70 should drive cautiously as icy roads and blowing snow could reduce visibility. Those heading out should wear multiple layers, gloves, and a face covering to avoid frostbite.

Looking ahead, Valentine’s Weekend may bring another round of snow, with a chance of rain and snow on Friday and Saturday. Stay updated with the latest forecasts and road conditions at www.cotrip.org.
