After receiving a shot of snow last night, Thornton can expect continued chances of snow throughout the weekend. Temperatures will continue to be well below seasonal normals throughout.
Most areas of Denver received a couple inches of snow last night blanketing the Mile High City in white. Here in Thornton, as we forecast yesterday, we received 2.2 inches. With this latest round, it is likely that Denver will exceed the average amount of snow we receive in February – 6.3 inches. We will know for sure when the National Weather Service releases their official measurement from DIA later this morning.
For Friday, overcast and cold will be the keywords. High temperatures today will only reach 34 degrees and there is a slight chance of an isolated snow flurry here and there. No daytime accumulation of snow is expected. Overnight tonight after 11:00pm look for the chance of snow to increase with a half inch or so being possible.

Saturday the cold continues and the snow chances increase. Temperatures will be right around the freezing mark ensuring that if you venture outside, you will be bundled up. There may be a morning snow flurry or two with the chances increasing after 11:00am or so at which point we could see a couple inches between then and the evening.
A chance for snow continues throughout Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Total accumulations will be much like what we received last night. Look for between 2 and 4 inches in the metro area. The mountains and foothills will receive between 5 and 10 inches and areas closer to the Wyoming border between 3 and 6 inches.
Sunday brings even colder temperatures with forecast highs for Thornton only around 29 degrees. Snow will slowly be coming to an end with a lingering flurry or two possible throughout the day.
The weather forecast for Monday going forward is still a bit muddled. A slight chance of snow continues on Monday before things should warm up and clear out on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday however the chance for snow returns.
