Today’s Forecast:
The weather today is going to be pretty easy going compared to Tuesday! Under cloud cover, most of southern Colorado will stay dry today other than occasional snow showers over the Sangre De Cristos, Wet Mountains, and maybe some rain to snow in the Wet Mountain Valley.
Snow Tuesday:
Tuesday is going to be a weather alert day due to blowing snow and hazardous driving conditions. Snow will show up tomorrow morning, as will wind gusts between 20 to 40 mph out of the north. The combination of snow and wind could lead to blizzard-like conditions for the morning commute.
Snow totals will be highest at elevations of 7,000 feet and above. Even if your city or town is forecast to only see between 0-1 or 0-2 inches of snow, blowing snow could still lead to slick and dangerous travel tomorrow.
