WASHINGTON COUNTY HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK

 This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central Colorado.  .DAY ONE...Today and Tonight  1-2" of additional snow accumulation is expected over the southern foothills and Palmer Divide this morning. Those locations may have hazardous travel conditions for the morning commute. Across the Denver metro, light snow will come to an end around 8-10 AM with little to no additional accumulation due to temperatures above freezing.  .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday  Wednesday through Saturday will be active with multiple storm systems bringing snow and cold temperatures. A cold front will slide south into northern Colorado overnight Tuesday into Wednesday and snow should begin early Wednesday. Travel impacts are expected 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 amounts 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 long- lived snowstorm with heavy snow and major impacts. If the slow moving, stronger snowstorm verifies, heavy snow could occur on Friday and Saturday as well.  .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...  Spotter activation will not be needed but spotters are encouraged to report snowfall amounts.
