the end of the weekend. several inches of snow and winds are in the forecast and there will be a quick burst of snow in between that could fool some people. kathy sabine is in the weather center tracking it for us. >> it is a complex forecast. we are mild and dry in the city. that brings temperatures into the mid 40s and low 50s across the metro area. but we are tracking a cool front from the north that will be here tomorrow night bringing a light dusting of snow. people will think that's the storm. in the day. then the storm moves out. but it is a second stronger storm taking shape in the pacific that has issued the national weather service to advisories. eight to 16 inches of snow possible sunday morning with a winter storm warning we have winter weather advisories out across the western slope and southern foothills. in denver, high and mid level cloud to night.

but the snow will ramp up in the high country. some of that snow moves into if city tomorrow night. that will fool people. they will think that's the storm and that's not it. the storm really doesn't get here until sunday night. so tomorrow, we are looking pretty good and sunday looks pretty good. we get the little snow squall in between christine, but sunday night into monday, some of the models have well over a foot of snow in denver and along the front range. we will talk a lot more about a coming up. >> thanks kathy. plenty of skiers hoping to tear up new powder this weekend. found a lot of their friends on i-70 tonight. traffic? yeah, it was pretty slow going in the high country. cdot reported 30 minute delays from c-470 to empire. it could be a long drive home. with snow on the way, the express lane on eastbound i-70 will in the be open if snow

no weather or chain laws are in effect. cdot should have the information up on highway signs. in the last three months, cdot says the traction law has been put into effect 145 times on mountain road corridors. when the traction law is in effect, all vehicles need snow tires or four-wheel drive and tread has to be a minimum of an eight of an inch thick. without the right equipment, fines range up to $650. if your car ends up blocking other people. it was hard today to even think about the snow and the cold on the way to the next week while soaking in the beautiful sunshine today. even with the wind, people outside enjoying a drink on the patio or going for a run in shirts and just shorts. not your typical activities for the final friday in january. though things are going to change here in a couple of days. this coming storm could be the biggest of the season. and the biggest that we have seen in quite a few years. the storm back in mid december dropped 7.7 inches at dia.

six inches february of last year. the last time we had nine inches of snow in denver was a storm in february of 2013. are you noticing a trend here? february has been a big month for snow in denver and last february, we broke a record going back 103 years for the most snow in that month. if we want to break that record again, we will need just over 22 inches of snow. now, the coming storm is expected to impact travel out at the airport starting as early as tomorrow night. airlines are keeping a close eye on the situation. as you can imagine. frontier, already allowing passengers traveling out of denver to make changes. if you have a flight or expect someone to arrive, keep a close eye on the changes and other updates happening this weekend. the update has been releasing the e-mails from hillary clinton's private servers for several months now,

means if people don't understand it. >> reporter: it is worth noting the use of the word marked to qualify that answer. which could be what this all ends upcoming down to. but today's news only fueled suspicion among primary voters there could be another shoe to drop in the clinton e-mail story. i will be heading to iowa for 9news this weekend. look for previews of the first in the nation caucuses and the candidates' final push for votes sunday and monday and a wrap up of results and reactions monday night at 9:00 and 10:00. also on tuesday morning. a few rare january brush fires around colorado today. flames scorched just a few acres of open space behind monarch high school in louisville. the fire was contained before it reached the school. another fire at fort carson this afternoon. burned 1500 acres but no structures threatened there.

let him go on condition that they delete this video. well that's funny because you are watching it. the teen outsmarted them. he had software and was able to recover the video file of this climb. i bet you can see the weather coming from any direction from the top of the pyramid which may be handy here in colorado. i'm meteorologist kathy sabine and we are tracking two storm systems that will change our weather world over the weekend. outside, a little bit of wind in the city. nothing like what we saw earlier in the day. we have a weak front approaching from the north, a second low pressure area on track to push through the four corners into southeast colorado. late sunday into monday. that is a favorable location for heavy to moderate snow and wind as the storm progresses to the east, it will create an ice storm near omaha and a severe weather threat across the south will be a big story over the weekend as well. the second model has the bulls eye for the heaviest snow in the central southern mountains

with the avalanche and the nuggets off, we are all broncos all the time in the sports cast, but we finish with the superbowl. we learned this afternoon that denver will have one more home game in 2016. well ... sort of. they will have another game in san diego. and that is just like a home game. it is mile high west, if you will. the broncos always play the chargers well in san diego. that is because the stands are filled with orange. charger chairman announced the boss will remain in america's finest city in 2016, but may move to la in 2017 if a deal in san diego cannot be reached. >> let's hope they reach the dealand the broncos can keep having a third home game. make it nine every year. >> san diego is not a bad place

>> get outside tomorrow if you can.

tomorrow, a nice day. mix of clouds and sunshine. highs above average. it is sunday night into monday when the heavy snow and wind may materialize with an area of low pressure setting up in southeast colorado. that is a favorable location for big snowstorms for denver. then we see a warming and drying trend the first few days of the new week. and then of course, there is a little football game in california. >> i have to drive now. >> no snow in santa clara. >> not this year. >> the 9news superbowl is up next. the tonight show up in ten minutes. we will update you on 9news tomorrow morning. thanks for being with us.
