Denver is experiencing mild temperatures with highs in the middle to upper 60s and a chance of isolated showers or two in the late afternoon to early evening hours.
The Pinpoint Weather team is tracking possible accumulation of heavy wet snow, but final totals are still uncertain due to storm track changes. A cold front arrives later on Sunday and will change from rain to snow with gusts up to 25 mph during the evening hours.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that a cold front coming Sunday morning will bring rain and likely some thunderstorms to the Denver metro area on Sunday in the hours ahead of expected snow. However, this statement contradicts other sources quoted in the article which state that there will be no significant precipitation until later on Sunday night or Monday morning. Secondly, the author claims that a 60% chance exists for at least some snow accumulation in Denver over the weekend. This is not supported by any of the quotes provided and appears to be an opinion rather than a factual statement.

Fallacies
(75%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the National Weather Service's forecast and Chris Bianchi's meteorological expertise as sources for their information. Additionally, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric when they describe the weather conditions as
The high country will see some snow Saturday before it picks up Sunday,
Bias
(85%)
The article contains a statement that implies the author has an opinion on the weather forecast. The sentence 'I'm leaning towards the lower end of that, but it looks like it's going to really rip snow for a few hours Sun. night, so leaving in higher end scenarios.' suggests that Chris Bianchi is expressing his personal viewpoint rather than simply reporting facts.

Deception
(30%)
The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the author claims that 'an isolated shower or two isn't out of the question in the late afternoon to early evening hours', but this is not supported by any evidence presented in the article. Secondly, when discussing possible accumulation of heavy wet snow from a storm track still in question, it is stated that 'the totals shown here could change'. This implies that there may be some deception regarding the accuracy of these forecasts. Lastly, when describing the weather for Sunday evening as a Pinpoint Weather Alert Day due to snow and rain in the forecast for the Foothills and Palmer Divide, it is stated that 'the storm track is still in question'. This implies that there may be some deception regarding the accuracy of this information.

Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title suggests that it will be a repeat of last Thursday's snowstorm when no such information is provided in the body of the article. Secondly, while warm weather will continue in Denver on Friday with high temperatures hovering around 60 degrees Fahrenheit, there is no mention or indication that this temperature range applies to other parts of Colorado. Thirdly, scattered light snow showers are expected to start over the mountains around midnight and move into late Saturday night but it's not clear how much snow will accumulate yet. The article also mentions rain in Denver on Sunday with thunderstorms in the afternoon that turns to snow around 8 p.m., which is a significant change from warm weather earlier in the day, making it deceptive.

Fallacies
(70%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the National Weather Service as a source for information about the upcoming snowstorm. However, this does not necessarily mean that their predictions are accurate or reliable.
> Warm weather will continue in the Denver area Friday with high temperatures hovering in the mid- to high-60s
The bulk of the storm will move in late Saturday and stick around through Sunday night, according to NWS meteorologists.
Bias
(75%)
The article contains a mix of religious and monetary bias. The author uses the phrase 'winter weather is once again on the way to Colorado' which implies that winter is bad or undesirable, despite it being part of the natural cycle. Additionally, when discussing snowfall in Loveland Pass, Penington mentions how below-freezing temperatures will affect skiers and tourists who come for spring skiing. This suggests a monetary bias as tourism revenue may be affected by cold weather during this time.
