From Chief Meteorologist Steve Hamilton:

It's looking like we have a good chance of accumulating snow between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday night. Two key weather systems will affect the Foothills. Strong low pressure will develop in the Southern Plains and also Southern Colorado. And, an Arctic cold front will drop into Eastern Colorado, bringing very cold temperatures. Models are showing good agreement on accumulating snowfall, thanks to a strong upper level jet stream pattern, and increasing moisture in the mid-levels of the atmosphere. We should get enough lift and upslope flow for accumulations between 4 and 10 inches across the Foothills by late Wednesday. Prepare for slow travel, snow-packed and slick roads and poor visibility. Make sure your gas tank and washer fluid are full, and your wipers are in good shape if you are venturing out. Additionally, temperatures will be cold Tuesday night through Wednesday night, with many locations dropping below zero.
