Another day of sun and unseasonably warm temperatures are on tap for Denver on Wednesday before snow moves in Thursday, forecasters predict.

The National Weather Service in Boulder said to expect a high near 60 degrees on Wednesday in Denver under mostly sunny skies.

That’s about 16 degrees warmer than the average high temperature for Jan. 7 in Denver, but it is not expected to reach the record high of 69 for this date, according to weather service records.

However, lows were expected to dip to 29 degrees overnight into Thursday ahead of some light snowfall across the metro area.

Meteorologists said to expect snowflakes to start falling on Thursday mostly after 11 a.m. The high Thursday is only expected to reach 40 degrees and the chance of snowfall is about 70%.

Forecasters said about 1-2 inches of accumulation is possible out at Denver International Airport by Friday morning.

Heavier snowfall impacts are expected in the foothills and south of Denver. The US 36 corridor between Denver and Boulder and areas east of that highway were not expected to be greatly impacted by the snow.

Areas such as Woodland Park and Monument Hill are expected to see “moderate impacts” from the snowfall on Thursday, which the weather service said could include hazardous driving conditions and possible road closures.
