Discussion 

Significant snow accumulations are on the way for the higher elevation locations and foothills from late Friday into Sunday and this will be a heavy, wet snow. Mainly rain is expected in and around the Denver region through the first part of this upcoming storm systems, but accumulating snow is on the table from later Saturday night into Sunday.  It dries out and turns milder during the first half of next week.
