    DENVER ( KDVR ) — Denver’s weather will start to cool this weekend, while some towns around Colorado could see as much as seven inches of snow.

    Snow in the Mile High City is still a few weeks out , as the past few months have been unseasonably warm.

    Could hot weather affect opening dates at Colorado ski areas?

    While fall temperatures have been pushed back in the metro, the mountains are gearing up for the winter season with the forecast showing the possibility of a few inches of snow across the state.

    Denver’s forecast

    In the Denver metro, weekend storms start on Friday and continue into Sunday, but the Pinpoint Weather team only expects rain and temperatures in the 50s and 60s with overnight lows in the high 30s.

    If Pueblo gets snow then I bet The Springs gets a little too.
