Washington County Hazardous Weather Outlook

Winter Weather Advisory Tonight for the Mountains…

This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central
Colorado.

.DAY ONE…Today and Tonight

Dry and mild conditions are expected today across the mountains
and plains. The next storm system will arrive tonight with snow
returning into the mountains later this evening and continuing
overnight. Expect winter driving conditions with icy and
snowpacked roads across the mountain passes. West winds will
increase tonight, leading to blowing snow across the highest
elevations. The plains will remain dry and breezy tonight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN…Sunday through Friday

A strong winter storm system will move across northern Colorado
Sunday, producing snow, strong winds and poor visibility in the
mountains through the early afternoon. On the plains, strong
northwest winds will cause some blowing dust which may restrict
visibilities at times. Wind gusts will be in the 30s and 40s
through much of the day. Locations along the foothills may see
some light snow showers, but no accumulations are expected.
Conditions will gradually improve in the high country Sunday
afternoon with winds also diminishing across the plains. Cold and
unsettled weather will continue in the mountains Monday through
Thursday with some light snow showers and windy conditions
expected each day. The plains will be dry through most of the
week, except for a chance of snow with colder temperatures on
Thursday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT…

Spotter activation will not be needed today or tonight.
