Denver, Colorado isn't done with winter yet. They have a Winter Storm Warning in effect for Saturday and Sunday. How about 8"-14" of snow folks, that's in their forecast.

A slight risk for severe thunderstorms along and near the NM/TX line will be our concern this afternoon and evening. Saturday looks like a more active and widespread severe weather threat for the eastern one-third of New Mexico including the southeastern plains. Isolated tornadoes, large hail, damaging thunderstorm wind gusts in excess of 60 mph, and frequent deadly lightning will all be possible especially on Saturday. Locally heavy rainfall may lead to localized flash flooding also. Visit the Midland NWS Office for more details.
