Snow near Denver

The Denver metro area saw 2-8 inches of snow overnight as flakes continued to fall in the morning.

Snow began falling along the Front Range Friday, hitting the Palmer Divide area in the afternoon and downtown Denver by the evening commute. The snowfall should stop across the metro area Saturday morning without much accumulation, National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Kalina said. The other side of the Palmer Divide could see snow into the evening.

Saturday's temperatures should hang in the mid-30s, dropping down to the lower to mid-20s at night. Many parts of Denver are likely to experience a hard freeze. Sunday will bring some relief with sunny skies and highs around the lower to mid-50s, Kalina said.

A bodyboarder was mauled to death by a shark just two months after one of his best friends was killed in almost identical circumstances.

Adrien Dubosc, 28, was bitten in the leg in shark-infested waters off Pointe au Sel, Reunion, on Saturday morning.

The trained shark spotter was dragged to shore and given CPR in front of his horrified family members, but rescuers could not save him.

His death comes weeks after his friend Alexandre Naussac, 26, died on a nearby beach on the French island, which lies off the coast of Madagascar.

Several loud "booms" were heard across San Diego and a resident in Pacific Beach said it shook his home Tuesday morning.

What caused the noise was unknown as of 9:10 a.m., but many people speculated it was a sonic boom caused by some kind of aircraft.

Polly Kanavel was getting ready to walk in San Carlos when she heard two booms.

"I was getting out of the car getting ready to put my hat on and I heard boom, and I thought there goes the military again," said Kanavel.

A man in Pacific Beach said he heard it and the garage doors of his home shook around 9 a.m. Viewers in Poway, Mira Mesa and Santee also reported hearing the boom.

"TWO booms were heard today - one at about 9:10 a.m. The second, just before 11 a.m. My glass door shook with the boom," Carmel Valley resident Latha Sundar told FOX 5.

FOX 5 has calls out to military officials to find out if one of their airplanes caused it. MCAS Miramar Officer 1st Lt. Christopher Harrison said the sound was not produced by any of their aircraft.

Spring snow for Colorado: 4 to 15 inches expected in Denver, Boulder

As only CBS4 told you last night, Denver would see a beautiful start to Friday - and we were greeted to a cloudless blue sky as temperatures warmed to a high of 54 degrees. Then the weather began to change as a storm system tracking across the Four Corners region and then over New Mexico began producing a strong upslope flow along the Front Range changing rain over to snow.

As a result, the Denver and Boulder areas are under a Winter Storm Warning from 6 p.m. Friday until 6 p.m. Saturday for 4-12 inches of slushy snow. The higher amounts will be over the southern suburbs in Arapahoe County and northern Douglas County.

Locations farther south and west are also under a Winter Storm Warning from 4 p.m. Friday until 6 p.m. Saturday for 8-15 inches of snow. This includes the foothills of Jefferson, Boulder, and Larimer Counties as well as the Palmer Divide in Douglas and Elbert Counties. The biggest impact in these areas may be damaged tress and power lines due to the weight of the heavy, very wet snow.

Heavy snow will also impact southern Colorado. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for the I-25 corridor south of Pueblo including Walsenburg, Trinidad, and Raton Pass in northern New Mexico. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains will likely see 1-2 feet of snow.
