We’re about to see the back of Storm Eowyn – but the miserable UK weather isn’t going with it. Eowyn (pronounced ‘Ay-oh-win’) pelted the UK yesterday with record-breaking 114mph winds – the equivalent of a Category 3 hurricane.

Storm Eowyn’s 100mph assault will be the first in a month-long barrage with Britain on the storm roller-coaster into spring. Severe gales, flooding downpours, snow and even tornadoes will strike widely today as the biggest storm of the season barrels in from the Atlantic.

Temperatures will climb no higher than 20 in Denver today, with light snow tapering off by 11 p.m. Highs of 27 and 44 are expected Sunday and Monday as the sky clears. About 2 inches of snow had accumulated by Saturday morning in Denver, and some of the heaviest overnight snowfall was reported in Allenspark, which saw 5.1 inches.

Another round of accumulating snow and colder air is expected to develop across Colorado's mountains, and eventually Denver through the evening on Friday.

A Pinpoint Weather Alert Day has been issued for Saturday as a cold front brings snowfall across much of Colorado.
