Scattered snow showers are possible over the next few days in Colorado's mountains. A more potent snow maker is possible over the upcoming weekend.
Here's your potential weekend weather maker. It rides up and over a ridge in the Pacific between now and Friday. Diving into the western US this weekend. What it will do remains to be seen but we're keeping a close eye on it for you! @LaurenCBS4 @AshtonCBS4 @DaveAgCBS #COwx #4wx pic.twitter.com/gYBhkfq8oX
