Our First Alert Weather team has posted a First Alert Weather Day for Thursday as the next snowstorm is set to bring heavy snow to southern Colorado.

The winter storm, which is expected to hit southeastern Colorado the hardest on Thursday, could drop more than a foot of snow in the mountains and up to 6 inches south of metro Denver, forecasters said.

Meteorologists are having a tough time predicting how much accumulation different areas will see, but any reports of double-digit inches of snow are likely incorrect.

The most favored areas for snow are over the southern foothills, Palmer Divide and central plains. However, heavier snow could occur north towards Denver.

A winter storm expected to hit southern Colorado on Wednesday could drop more than a foot of snow in the mountains and up to six inches in the southern metro area.

Southern Colorado will see snow move into the mountains on Wednesday morning and then expand into the plains by the evening. Check the forecast in your city.
