Denver is expanding its homeless shelter offerings Monday afternoon through Wednesday morning, as cold weather and snow threaten residents sleeping outdoors.

Although snow accumulations in the metro are expected to be small, higher totals are likely in the eastern plains and high country overnight Saturday into Sunday morning.

Denver's snow totals could reach between 2 and 4 inches this weekend as a quick blast of winter drops moderate snow in Colorado's high country. Temps will also drop over the next 7 days in Denver.
