Arctic air and snow could make for a chilly and snowy afternoon for Denver Broncos fans heading to the AFC Championship game. The game, set to kick off at 1 p.m., will be played in near-freezing temperatures, with wind chills dropping to around 9 degrees at kickoff and further decreasing to near 5 degrees by halftime. By the end of the game, wind chills could drop to zero or even below, making it feel downright frigid. But that's not all - a wave of light snow is expected to develop shortly after kickoff, with confidence increasing between 3 and 4 p.m. for more widespread snow across the Denver metro area and much of the Front Range. Most areas can expect around 1 to 2 inches of snow, which could make for a perfect AFC Championship football weather, but not ideal for the commute home. Any snow that falls will accumulate, creating slick spots, especially on bridges and overpasses. So, if you're planning to attend the game, make sure to bundle up and dress as if you're heading out to ski. And remember, the snow should taper off by 10 p.m., leaving bitterly cold air in place overnight.
