WASHINGTON COUNTY HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK

 This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central Colorado.  .DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight  Widespread snow will continue across most of the area this afternoon and come to an end this evening. Snow may linger well into the evening over the eastern plains. The continued snow and gusty north winds to 40 mph will result in very hazardous travel over the plains south of I-76. In those areas, there may be near-blizzard conditions at times. For the Denver area, additional snowfall is expected to be light. Many roads are wet across the Denver area and if the don't dry by sunset, they may refreeze this evening creating very slick roadways.  .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday  There will be a chance of light snow for much of the forecast area on Thursday and Thursday night. The next storm system will bring the potential for accumulating snow to the forecast area Friday and Saturday. At this time, the focus for the heavier snow looks to be from the Palmer Divide eastward across the plains. Consequently, winter driving conditions are expected, especially Friday night into Saturday.  Dry and warmer conditions are expected to return Sunday as the storm system exits the region.  .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...  Spotter activation will not be needed but spotters are encouraged to report snowfall amounts.
