DENVER — The 9NEWS Weather Impact Team has declared Weather Impact Day on Tuesday morning as commuters will encounter slick and icy roads following a round of overnight snow.

While most areas on the Front Range only saw a dusting-3 inches of accumulation, it was enough to make roads slick and icy late Monday night. It will remain icy Tuesday morning until the sun can melt away the snow and ice.

Be careful on the roads Tuesday morning, especially before sunrise — 7:10 a.m. in Denver. Temperatures plunged into the teens across the Denver metro area, keeping the roads extra slick and icy.

Cherry Creek Schools, Jeffco Public Schools, Englewood Schools, Littleton Public Schools, Platte Canyon District 1, Douglas County School District, and Elizabeth School District are among the closures with delayed starts on Tuesday.

The main weather story on Tuesday will be the wind. Winds pick up through the day, with 30-40 mph gusts likely in Denver Tuesday and a high only in the mid-30s, while those winds will really ramp up for the foothills and higher Front Range peaks. Some 60-70 mph gusts are possible there, especially after dark Tuesday night.

Finally, there is some mountain snow Tuesday as well, with 1-4 inches possible along and north of I-70 today as we squeeze out the last bits of moisture from our departing storm.

The forecast ahead for Colorado will turn quiet after Tuesday with highs mainly in the 50s for the rest of the week with no meaningful rain or snow chances in Denver through the upcoming weekend.

The mountains of Colorado could get more light snow on Thursday night and Friday, along with Sunday.

The Denver Broncos have been without starting cornerback Riley Moss since he suffered a knee injury early in the team's Week 12 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. The Broncos weathered the storm at Allegiant Stadium without Moss, but his absence was acutely felt vs. the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football, with Jameis Winston passing for 497 yards and Jerry Jeudy's record-breaking 235 receiving yards.

The Broncos emerged victorious over the Browns 41-32, but it was a lot closer than even that score would suggest.

With the Broncos coming off their Week 14 bye, there's been hope that Moss will return this week to face the Indianapolis Colts. While head coach Sean Payton held a conference call with local reporters on Monday morning, the Moss subject wasn't broached.

However, KOA Radio's Benjamin Allbright tweeted on Monday afternoon a deflating prediction that Moss might not be back until Week 17 vs. the Cincinnati Bengals. Keep in mind, Allbright is expressing an opinion, not reporting a scoop.

"It’s gonna be a bit. I suspect it’ll be Cincinnati before he’d be back," Allbright wrote on X in response to a follower asking for a Moss update.

The Broncos haven't spoken to Moss' injury or future availability since November 24, but the team decided not to put him on injured reserve, which is a four-week minimum stay. We'll get our first solid sign from the Broncos on Moss' outlook when Wednesday's practice report rolls out.

But we did get a little circumstantial evidence to support Allbright's read on the Moss situation on Monday when news broke of the Broncos working out veteran cornerback Jerry Jacobs. If Jacobs signs to the practice squad this week, it'll be a likely harbinger of Moss missing more time.

While it's not the news Broncos Country hoped to hear, let's try to look on the bright side. The Broncos will host Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, who, despite a phenomenal arm, has struggled as a passer in Year 2.

The Colts have the sixth-fewest passing yards as a team this season, and as a starter, although Richardson sits with a 5-4 record, he's totaled just 1,511 passing yards and seven touchdowns with nine interceptions. Suffice it to say, the Colts are hoping for better than a 7-to-9 TD-to-INT ratio from their recent No. 4 overall pick, but this is basically his rookie year after he missed 2023 with an injury.

The Broncos will have to be on their toes with Richardson, as he's a bonafide dual-threat quarterback. He's totaled more rushing yards than Bo Nix (383) in four fewer games, with four touchdowns on the ground, just like the Broncos' rookie.

Could the Broncos really use Moss this week, out there on the boundary with his sure-fire tackling and nose for the ball? Absolutely. But if he's not ready, he's not ready.

The more concerning matchup to be sans Moss is the following week when the Broncos travel to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in what could be a throwdown to decide who gets the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs. That is, assuming the Broncos take care of business on Sunday vs. the Colts.

Moss was a 2023 third-round pick out of Iowa. He missed a good chunk of his rookie season with an offseason surgery and when he was activated to the roster, the limited reps he received were on special teams.

However, in training camp this past summer, Moss took a stranglehold on the No. 2 cornerback job opposite Patrick Surtain II and never looked back. Moss has been an enormous upgrade and boon to the Broncos defense.

In 12 starts this season, Moss 71 tackles (53 solo), an interception, a fumble recovery, and eight pass break-ups. He ranked second on the team in tackles before his injury and even after missing the better part of two games so far, he still ranks third behind safety Brandon Jones and linebacker Cody Barton, both of whom have 82 combined tackles.

By the time the Broncos lace 'em up vs. the Colts, Moss will have had three weeks of recovery time from a knee injury that Coach Payton minimized as not serious following the Raiders win.

"Fortunately it wasn't really serious with Riley," Payton reluctantly revealed at the podium in Vegas on November 24. "It's an MCL. I'm not going to give anything. We'll see how next week is. There was some thought he could go back in. We'll see where it's at."

Cut Payton some slack if he misread Moss' injury. The Broncos were on the road, away from their own facilities, and it was in the immediate aftermath of a game in which Payton was juggling many, many different responsibilities.

Here's to hoping Moss gets back sooner than later.

Snow showers started in Denver around 5 p.m. and ended around 7:30 p.m., producing a quick burst of snow during the evening drive.

CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — A snowstorm that slowed travel between Denver and Colorado Springs Monday morning brought slick roads to the Denver metro area after sunset.

Snow showers started in Denver around 5 p.m. and ended around 7:30 p.m., producing a quick burst of snow -- a dusting to 2 inches -- during the evening drive.

Police and sheriff's offices across the Denver metro area -- including Denver, Douglas County, Centennial, Littleton, Broomfield and Arvada -- reported slick, snowpacked roads and low visibility Monday night.

Some schools in the Denver metro area are on a delayed start Tuesday morning.

Monday morning, northbound Interstate 25 was closed at Plum Creek Parkway near Castle Rock for multiple crashes.

A band of snow covered the I-25 corridor from Centennial to Pueblo around 10:30 a.m. The band cleared out around Castle Rock by early afternoon, but heavy snow was still falling farther south around Colorado Springs.

Snow is ending from north to south Monday night. A Winter Weather Advisory for an area west and south of Denver ended at 10 p.m. It'll be clearing and very cold overnight, with lows in the upper teens.

In the mountains, there's a Winter Weather Advisory for the Wet and Sangre de Cristo Mountains of southern Colorado until 5 a.m. Tuesday. That's where 4-10 inches of heavy, wet snow could fall, mainly Monday night.

After Monday's storm, skies will clear out quickly on Tuesday but remain chilly with highs likely staying below 40 degrees. Winds will be an issue on Tuesday, especially in the foothills, where 50+ mph gusts are possible.

Then we rebound into warmer highs in the 50s to finish the week.

DENVER — After a mild and dry weekend, a cold front has entered Colorado, ushering in a chance for snow Monday afternoon and Monday night in the Denver area.

A Winter Weather Advisory is up for the Palmer Divide and the south and west sides of the metro area, where 2-7 inches of snow could fall by tonight. Most areas will see closer to two inches, but some road impacts are likely on the Divide above 6500' around and near Monument Hill.

The cold front will bring much colder temperatures to the Denver area. Daytime temperatures will be above freezing Monday, meaning it will be very difficult for snow to stick to anything and accumulate.

The best chance for snow in the Denver metro area comes probably after noon on Monday, but little to no accumulation is expected.

If the snow lingers into the evening hours between 4-9 p.m. Monday, that's probably the best chance for Denver to pick up a little snow on the grassy areas, rooftops, and other cold surfaces. That accumulation, if any, will likely remain under one inch. Other parts of the south and west metro areas above 6,000 feet in elevation still have the potential to get between 1 and 3 inches.

In the mountains, there's a Winter Weather Advisory for the Wet and Sangre de Cristo Mountains of southern Colorado until 5 a.m. Tuesday. That's where 4-10 inches of heavy, wet snow could fall, mainly Monday night.

After Monday's storm, skies will clear out quickly on Tuesday but remain chilly with highs likely staying below 40 degrees. Winds will be an issue on Tuesday, especially in the foothills, where 50+ mph gusts are possible.

Then we rebound into warmer highs in the 50's to finish off the week.

WEATHER LINE 9: Updated weather forecast information at 303-871-1492.

After a decade of pouring some of the most innovative beers on Denver’s east side, Fiction Beer Company said Friday that it will close at the end of the year.

The books and literature-themed brewery was founded in September 2014 by Ryan and Christa Kilpatrick, whose love of reading gave name to the business and its beers, including Old Bums & Beat Cowboys, a pale ale inspired by Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road,” and Madame Psychosis, a hazy, New England-style IPA named for David Foster Wallace’s “Infinite Jest.”

The bar at Fiction, 7101 E. Colfax Ave., is also made out of books, while literary quotes adorn the tables. The brewery also hosted a book club.

“After 10 years of business, we’ve made the very difficult decision to close our Denver taproom,” Christa Kilpatrick wrote on Fiction’s social media pages.

“Ryan and I have elected not to renew our Denver taproom lease for another five-year term. There are so many reasons for this, but what it comes down to is that the craft beer business is a difficult and demanding one, and it’s time to move on to less stressful ventures for the sake of our kiddos and ourselves,” she continued. “And although it’s incredibly sad to say goodbye, we are excited to write a new chapter for ourselves as happier and healthier main characters.”

Fiction’s second location in Parker, which has different ownership, will remain open.

During its tenure, Fiction was known for being one of the first breweries to dabble in new styles, whether it was hazy IPAs, Pastry Stouts or Cold IPAs. Its most awarded beer was Alternate Present (inspired by “The Man in the High Castle,” by Philip K. Dick), a German-style schwarzbier that won medals at the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup.

Located near the Park Hill, Montclair, Mayfair and Lowry neighborhoods, Fiction was — and remains — one of the only breweries on the east side of town.

Kilpatrick said the brewery is now for sale. But in the meantime, she encouraged fans to drop by to drink up the beer and give hugs and high-fives to the staff.
