WASHINGTON COUNTY HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK

 This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central Colorado.  .DAY ONE...Today and Tonight  Quiet conditions are forecast today with above normal temperatures. A few snow showers will develop across the mountains late tonight towards Sunday morning as a storm system approaches.  .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday  Sunday night through Friday will be active with multiple systems bringing snow and cold air. Sunday night into Monday morning, moderate snow amounts will fall across the higher terrain as well as the Palmer Divide. This may impact travel conditions, especially during the Monday morning commute, as roads could be snow-covered and icy. 1-3" of snow is expected across the Denver metro with higher amounts on the south side of Denver.  A cold front will slide south into northern Colorado overnight Tuesday into Wednesday ahead of another approaching low pressure system. Impacts are expected once again, for the Wednesday morning commute, as this system will bring moderate to heavy snow to the higher terrain, and light snow showers to our highly traveled urban corridor through the morning. There is more uncertainty with regards to snow across the plains but the possibility remains for heavy snow to fall during this period. The most likely outcome is a widespread light snow event with about a 20 percent chance that it turns into a snowstorm with heavy snow and major impacts. If the bigger snowstorm verifies, snow would occur on Friday and Saturday as well.  .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...  Spotter activation will not be needed.
