Many people may be planning to stay inside this weekend due to brutally cold temperatures, but there are plenty of fun indoor events happening this weekend in Denver.

A lot is happening in the Denver weather forecast as snow, blustery winds, and arctic air settle in to the region for the next several days.

The work-week will end on a mild note Friday with highs in the 60s (70s out west). For warm-weather fans though, the mood will quickly sour as we head into the weekend. A strong cold front is still on track for Saturday morning as arctic air returns to the region.

It is January in Denver and the National Western Stock Show is in town, which can only mean one thing ... cold and snowy Colorado weather is around the corner. It is a tradition at this point, and this year will be no different. An arctic blast will bring temperatures 20 to 40 degrees below average and a chance for snow.

We'll see one more mild day across Colorado before a strong cold front races through Friday night. Temperatures will climb into upper 40s by the afternoon, with light snow developing by evening commute.
