Extended outlook forecast:
On Monday, the first storm of the week moves into Colorado. This storm on Monday will provide snow showers in the mountains off and on all day, with a few rain showers or snow flurries making it to the I-25 corridor during the afternoon and evening. The mountain tops will see about 1-4 inches for the Sangre De Cristos and Wet Mountains and mountain valleys will see an inch or less. This first round of moisture won't drop temperatures too much yet, especially in the plains.
Then on Tuesday evening, a strong cold front arrives bringing blustery winds and snow to the entire region. Snow showers will last through the day Wednesday and the winds will reduce visibility and make it feel very cold outside. Prepare for winter driving conditions and consider changing your travel plans for Wednesday.
