From the CoCoRaHS blog:
In the west an upper level system will come ashore in southern California early Friday heading toward the southern Rockies. Rain and snow will accompany this system as it makes its way across the Southwest, and winter weather advisories, watches, and warnings are in effect for a number of western states. This southern system will merge with another disturbance in the Northern Plains, and by Saturday morning will be bringing snow to a large portion of the central and southern Rockies and the Northern Plains. Ahead of this system, strong southerly winds will feed moisture to fuel showers and thunderstorms eastward through the Midwest.
A strong winter storm will push into the Four Corners region by Friday evening, and through Colorado on Saturday.twitpic.com/c9maau

From The Denver Post (Nic Turiciano):
Areas along the Front Range — Denver included — can expect from 6 to 10 inches of snow between Friday night and the early evening of Saturday. New forecasts from the National Weather Service also call for snowfall in the northern mountains and foothills to total between 8 and 16 inches…
Flurries will begin Friday afternoon in the mountains with snow falling in the metro area by Friday evening. Winds from 20 to 35 mph will create low visibility for Denver and the plains. Much of central and northeastern Colorado will remain in a Winter Weather Watch through Saturday evening.
Snow forecast increases for Fort Collins noconow.co/10pTGo3
