A few fast-moving clipper systems will bring some light snow to the mountains around the middle of the week, but snow is not expected to reach the Pikes Peak Region until Friday. That's when our next storm will arrive. For now, this storm looks pretty weak, with our best shot for snow from late Friday into very early Saturday morning. Stay tuned...
