Southern Colorado Officials Prepare for the Dangerous Cold

  • On Friday, Jan. 23, 2026, forecasters said a mass of Arctic air will impact Colorado this weekend, prompting a Weather Impact Alert for Friday through Sunday.
  • A southern storm track combining with a northern trough will sweep over Colorado, pulling Arctic air south and bringing snow starting Friday morning in the mountains with a secondary wave Sunday.
  • On the Front Range, a band may produce a dusting to three inches, while mountain resorts like Wolf Creek could see 12–18 inches, and Denver metro less than an inch.
  • The National Weather Service warned of hazardous travel Friday evening into Saturday along the Interstate 70 corridor into Summit County, with wind chills as low as-20 and plains wind chills down to 22 below zero, prompting cold‑weather shelter activations.
  • Statewide snowpack sits at the zeroth percentile, and Linden said he expects this storm will 'get the state off the floor' while forecast models show potential for more storms late January and early February.
