Winter Weather Advisory November 20, 2019

From Chief Meterologist Steve Hamilton: A Double-Dose Of Snow...
Two areas of low pressure will move through the Rockies over the next couple of days, bringing us a couple of snow chances. The first will occur on Wednesday. Precipitation may start as rain for some areas, but changing to snow as colder air filters into the area with high pressure moving in from the north. A second system will roll through on Thursday, with a better chance of accumulating snow across all the foothills. Snow amounts will probably not be very heavy, but will likely be enough to cause travel hazards, especially Thursday into early Friday. We might also get a few snow squalls, which could cause slightly higher local accumulations. The system should clear out by Friday afternoon.
