Today’s Forecast:
More cold is expected across southern Colorado today with scattered snow showers in the mountain and windy weather across the plains.
Dense fog over northern El Paso county will linger through the mid-morning and slow quick commutes to Denver by a few minutes.
What little snow we have up in the mountains will come with light accumulation through the afternoon and evening. A few towns adjacent to the mountains like Canon City, Colorado Springs, or Walsenburg could see a few flurries late today or tonight, but most of I-25 and east is expected to see no snow accumulation.
If you don't see any snow at your house, you'll still be cold and windy with gusts in the plains in the 20 to 30 mph range. Highs will be in the 30s in the plains and 20s in the mountains.
