Arctic Blast and Snowstorm Expected in Colorado

A significant winter storm is set to impact Colorado starting Friday evening, bringing dangerously cold temperatures and several inches of snow across the state. The National Weather Service warns that an arctic air mass will cause temperatures to drop sharply, with lows possibly reaching below zero and wind chills making it feel even colder. Snow is expected to begin Friday night and continue into Saturday, with additional light snow possible on Sunday night into Monday morning. Travel conditions are likely to deteriorate, especially along the Interstate 25 corridor, with icy roads and reduced visibility due to snowfall. Residents are advised to prepare by insulating pipes, checking on vulnerable neighbors, and keeping pets indoors. The cold front is expected to persist into Martin Luther King Jr. Day, with highs remaining in the single digits throughout the weekend.
