After a full week of being in the 60-70 degrees, Colorado is expecting a huge snow storm to hit this weekend. The state is expected to see approximately eight to 14 inches of snow by Sunday, April 17.

The national weather service has called for a storm watch in Denver until Saturday.

“A slow-moving low pressure system will move across the Four Corners region tonight, while a cold front becomes stationary across the central and northern plains.” Weather Prediction Center said. “Snow will become more widespread by this evening across the central Rockies, and will gradually spread to lower elevations as colder air moves into the Front Range and foothills — changing rain to snow in these areas overnight.

“Snow will continue across the Rockies, Front Range, and foothills into Saturday, with heavy snowfall accumulations possible.” Weather Prediction Center said.

Throughout the weekend many streets will be closed or backed up and it is advised for drivers to stay off the streets. Already 700 flights have been canceled in-and-out of Denver this weekend.

All after school activities and programs after two p.m. Saturday are cancelled due to weather conditions. All other activities before then will be held at regular time.
