Snow and blowing snow will be decreasing through this morning as
drier air moves in from the north. However, another weather system
and cold front to produce upslope flow into the Front Range
mountains and foothills by this evening will bring areas of light
snow across most of the area by midnight. Winds will be much
lighter over the mountains compared to the last few days, with
lighter snowfall rates. 2 to 4 inches of snow is expected over the
higher terrain as well as southern foothills and Palmer Divide
overnight, with up to 2 inches over the urban corridor and plains
by sunrise.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN…Tuesday through Sunday

Areas of light snow along with slick roads and slower travel
conditions will likely linger into the Tuesday morning commute.
Additional snow accumulations will be an inch or less, and mainly
confined to areas along and south of the I-70 Corridor.

Areas of light snow will likely redevelop Wednesday and Wednesday
night with another weather disturbance and passage of a cold
front.

After dry weather and a warming trend Thursday through Friday,
yet another weather disturbance will likely bring a return of
snow to the mountains and possibly the plains Saturday night and
Sunday.
