This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central
Colorado.
.DAY ONE…Today and Tonight
Dry conditions will persist across the area for today and tonight
with strong westerly winds across the mountains and higher
foothills. West winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph near
the ridges and passes of the higher mountains will cause areas of
blowing snow and reduced visibility.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN…Sunday through Friday
Snow showers will become more numerous across the mountains
Sunday afternoon and evening. The snow will continue overnight
Sunday night, before diminishing to flurries by mid day Monday.
Gusty winds will produce some blowing and drifting snow, and
reduced visibility in exposed areas. Total snow accumulations
above 9000 feet are expected to range between 3 and 6 inches,
with upwards of 10 inches in the mountains north of Rabbit Ears
Pass. On the plains, a cold front front and upslope flow will
usher in a chance of light snow showers Sunday night into Monday
morning. Snowfall amounts will be a dusting at most. Dry
conditions are expected for the rest of Monday through Thursday.
The next storm will bring a chance of snow to the mountains and
high valleys Thursday night into next weekend.
