DENVER (KDVR) — The Denver metro area is getting hit with a wintry mix of snow and rain this weekend. Roads were slushy in the morning and with the continued rain Saturday, some roads were flooded by the afternoon.

Saturday is a Pinpoint Weather Alert Day due to the soggy conditions. Rain is expected to persist through the day and start to taper off in the evening, with some lingering isolated showers into Sunday.

How much snow fell in Denver and the Front Range on Saturday?

Some roads across the state were closed due to the conditions, meanwhile, cars in other areas could be seen wading through water on the entrance to the freeway Saturday.
