around the metro area, looks like along the hog back, we're seeing some snowfall and that is slowly starting to press into the metro area again. it's going to be tough to get some of the flakes to actually hit the ground. if they do, they won't add up to too much. our storm system is sitting and spinning across the four corners, bringing some snowfall to parts of arizona, as well as new mexico, into the albuquerque area. we'll see a couple more bands slide through the metro area and also up in the highcountry through this evening. here's the future cast right now. you can see just a few spots with some snow as we speak. by 6:00, 7:00, if you have friday night plans, we'll be tracking clouds up across the eastern plains with some of that snow wrapping in up in the mountains. by 9:00,

couldn't get the compromise, couldn't get there. so you come home at the end of the day and you've just been kind of pounded back and forth sometimes, you know, hurricanes or blizzards or flash floods

about when. danielle is back to give us the best idea of when in the . not so cold here, but heading to the mountains, looking nippy up there. always is this time of year. >> it's wintry. and it should be. >> yes, it is. it's wintry. lot of folks heading up there to do a little skiing or boarding. >> on a holiday weekend. >> probably extending their stay. >> slower there the next time we see it. meteorologist danielle grant is in the 9 backyard for us. what is it looking like heading into this weekend? >> you know what? kind of an unsettled weather pattern. around here tonight, we do have a slight, slight chance at seeing a few flurries and blue skies overhead. it's still kind of cold, though. you can see up to the highcountry it's completely different story, as they are this storm system is really favoring the mountain areas. you can see breckenridge, skiers, snowboarders, not done for the day after plenty of long. 5 inches in steamboat. winter park, 6 1/2 inches. keep in mind, these were the reports that came at us at about 5:00 in the morning. i think we'll see big time numbers by tomorrow at 5:00 a.m. when they report. outside out there in fort collins, you can see the clouds beginning to thicken up across the csu campus. some students say still out and about in downtown denver, while the clouds are trying to push in, a little bit of sunlight trying to scoot into the view. as far as the snow goes, foothills, 1 to 3. mountains, 5 to 10 by tomorrow morning. up there in northern colorado, i'm going to show you this one on. looks about an inch for you guys, trace to 2 inches, and half inch. the storm system doesn't look all that impressive. in fact, a wimpy one, in my we're at 30 degrees out at the airport, under mostly cloudy skies. winds have switched out of the east at 15 miles per hour. look at the windchill. oh, yeah. kind of wishing i found my coat before i moved into the 9 backyard. our temperature right there at 31 degrees here downtown, but with a slight breeze making it feel a lot cooler. again, unsettled weather pattern, as we're keeping track of all the different storm systems that are out there. one big wet weather maker set to push in on the eastern seaboard. for us, our system has moved in from nevada, utah, sinking into new mexico. we have the back side of the storm wrapping around, bringing snowfall into the colorado area. you can see hd doppler 9 along i-70, mountains still picking up on a little light snowfall. then once i zoom in, you can see out in northern colorado this is the band i was talking about. i was showing it to you yesterday. it is doing exactly what we thought, right there from cheyenne, pressing into weld county. this band of snow is just slowly going to sink to the south and to the east. that's why i'm anticipating the little bit more snow than we could see here in the denver area. so again, i'll zoom back down here in town. maybe a couple of folks trying to see some snow showers. it's still so dry down here at the lower levels that it's a battle with that snow trying to actually make it down here to the surface. a little bit possible right there along the hog back. as you move up i-70, you saw it on that cdot camera, the snowfall is continuing to come down. skiers, snowboarders, weekend warriors, loving the fresh powder that's moving in. so here we go. by tomorrow morning, that band still kind of flirting with the eastern plains just a bit. we'll be looking at a few clouds sitting over the metro area and light snowfall up to the highcountry. it's not going to shot off tomorrow entirely. if you are traveling tomorrow, you might have a little snowfall to deal with. by lunchtime, it's dry in the metro area. we start off with a little bit of sunshine, but quickly the clouds stream in around the i- 25 corridor later on tomorrow evening, about dinner time and snowfall up to the highcountry. 10:00, while it's dry around here, the snow is going strong in the mountains. that's exactly why we'll be looking at a winter weather advisory until at least 9:00 tomorrow. 5 to 10 once you move out to the front range mountains, 3 to 7, the saguache range, mosquito range. 6 to 12 toward the northwestern facing mountains and also 4 to 7 for the san juans as they are looking at a little light snow coming in as well. tonight, temperatures are going to be cool, especially for eastern colorado as we dip down into the teens. 7 degrees in leadville tonight. 8 in gunnison. alamosa, subzero. tonight in town, about 15. again, we might have a flurry here and there, but it's going to be a struggle to actually get snow showers here to the surface. that's why i'm calling for less than half an inch. tomorrow, how about 36, kind of similar to today. we'll stay in the upper 30s, low 40s across the eastern plains, with a chilly day in the mountains. another one in the teens and 20s for a high temperature. in the highcountry and in and around the foothills. if you're heading out to blackhawk or central city, count on a little snowfall. it might be tricky because it's going to be blowing and drifting at times, so that drive might take you a while, about 40 degrees in arvada, as well as lakewood. northern colorado stays in the 30s, too. then look at that, possibly another disturbance rolls in saturday night into sunday. i'm thinking a few early morning flurries. however, right now it's more favorable up in northern colorado, so keep that in mind. if you're tailgating around here for the broncos game, you might have to dodge one or two. but i wouldn't count on a ton. does look like we'll have a bit of afternoon clearing. how about that? winds pick up. downsloping winds around here will pump up temps. 50 degrees on monday. we'll stay in the 40s tuesday, wednesday. another system possibly moves in bringing us a little bit of light snow. then we'll really crank up the dial, you guys. 50s by friday and saturday of next week. broncos and steelers, it's on everyone's mind. we're all thinking about this. again, like i said, possibly a depends where you're coming in. if you're driving in from greeley or fort collins, might wake up to that, might have to drive along i-25. once the game is going in the afternoon, we'll have a few clouds out there. it will be cool, though. i'm thinking kim, probably, big puffy jacket. >> big puffy jacket. >> brandon, a broncos scarf for you. >> that's okay. we can handle that. >> yeah, and think it will be good. we'll get rid of the snow showers early in the morning and then game time, we'll be >> okay. >> orange puffy jackets out there. >> i think you need one. >> where do you go and buy one of those? town. >> you have? >> i have. >> you've got the inside. >> they are cool. >> all right. sign me up. >> thank you. we are getting ready for a busy weekend in colorado. lots to do. >> yeah, not just football. that's important. but there's other things. next, we'll have nine things to do this weekend and how

amazing feeling to be up behind these guys. these are huge horses. pounds apiece. traditionally, we would have six of them pulling this large freight wagon. so this freight wagon had to be tall enough
