It will also be windy Sunday, which will produce areas of blowing snow in the mountains. Over the plains south of Interstate 70, the windy and dry conditions will increase the fire danger.  For next week, it will turn colder with periods of mountain snow. Snow will also likely spread onto the plains days. Snow may spread onto the plains at times, with the highest chance of accumulating snow toward Wednesday or Thursday.  .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...  Spotter activation will not be needed today.
