Denver could see its first snow in 65 days late Wednesday night

It's been more than two months since Denver has seen more than a dusting of snow. Tonight, we could finally see up to an inch.

Denver is less than a week away from setting an all-time record for days without moisture.

The record, set during the winter of 2002-2003, is 69 days without measurable snowfall (or rain).

If it doesn't snow more than one-tenth of an inch (as measured at DIA) by Dec. 19, we will have broken that record

That said, however, we have a chance for snow in the Mile High City overnight Wednesday, and again over the weekend.

Wednesday daytime will be mild, but noticeably cooler than Tuesday.

The Wednesday evening storm looks to be the weaker of the two, 9NEWS Meteorologist Cory Reppenhagen says. Most Denver areas will see less than an inch.

The chance for snow begins after 10 p.m. and lasts through 8 a.m. Thursday.

Denver could see up to an inch, and western suburbs could see between 1 and 4 inches.

Elevations above 9,000 feet could see 2 to 5 inches.

Saturday night could be a slightly larger dusting of snow, with most areas still not seeing anything more than six inches.

On the Winter Solstice, Dec. 21, Colorado enters into a pattern of troughs that could result in several cold days and several snow days, Reppenhagen says.

However, it is still too early to tell if any significant snow will result from the new pattern.
