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.

Weather Advisory is active through 5 p.m. Thursday for the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Wet Mountains, upper Rio Grande Valley and eastern San Juan Mountains, NWS 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.

Light snow will fall for much of the day along the southern Front Range corridor with accumulations in the Trace to 2 inch range. Meanwhile low cloud cover will keep temperatures remain in the 20s
