Much of the state woke up to several inches of snow on Saturday, and more is in the forecast for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday weekend.

As Colorado drops into a deep freeze, Denver Rescue Mission is among the shelters that will be increasing capacity to protect residents. The kind of subfreezing temperatures that are moving in will be dangerous to anyone living outside.

We'll see one more mild day across Colorado before a strong cold front races through Friday night. Temperatures will climb into upper 40s by the afternoon, with light snow developing by evening commute.

A lot is happening in the Denver weather forecast as snow, blustery winds, and arctic air settle in to the region for the next several days.

It is January in Denver and the National Western Stock Show is in town, which can only mean one thing ... cold and snowy Colorado weather is around the corner. It is a tradition at this point, and this year will be no different. An arctic blast will bring temperatures 20 to 40 degrees below average and a chance for snow.
