WASHINGTON COUNTY HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK

  This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central Colorado.  .DAY ONE...Today and Tonight  All winter highlights have been expired at this time as conditions have steadily improved through the morning. There are still some snow covered and slick roads in our higher elevations that may slow travel time. Conditions are expected to continue to improve through the afternoon with mostly clear skies and dry conditions expected overnight.  .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday  Tuesday evening through Saturday will be active with multiple storm systems bringing snow and cold temperatures. A cold front will slide south into northern Colorado Tuesday evening with snow beginning behind it. 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.
