The coldest temps in about a year are taking aim at Colorado as a major blast of Arctic air will plunge Denver below freezing, remaining there for several days as flash freezing becomes a concern. Here's a look at potentially dangerous wind chills expected in Colorado and the Denver metro area.

An arctic airmass will bring bitterly cold air to Colorado beginning Saturday and lasting through Monday night,” NWS forecasters said in a Hazardous Weather Alert.

Sunny skies are back on Wednesday, and comfortable conditions continue. The Denver weather forecast has above-average temperatures by Thursday afternoon.

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.

Traffic is expected to be impacted along major highways, with northern Colorado towns even more likely to experience bitter cold conditions.

Denver’s cold weather shelters will be open for another week as frigid weather makes its way across the state.

A dangerously cold Colorado weekend is approaching. Arctic air with windchills as cold as 30 degrees below zero is set to blanket Denver, and it will bring some snow.

Skies will remain clear for Denver’s weather overnight awaiting a very mild day tomorrow. Look for an arctic blast to come in from the north starting this weekend.

An arctic front will sweep through Colorado Friday afternoon with dangerously cold air and accumulating snow lagging behind it.
