Extended outlook forecast:
We are watching the potential for a storm storm system to move through over the weekend which would bring widespread snow showers to I-25 on Monday. The timing and location of this storm system is still on the table and could change a few factors as we get closer. If this system moves further south, we could see bigger impacts.
Timing wise, we will see snow start in the higher terrain and then work its way into the lower elevations by the afternoon. As of right now, Tuesday looks to be clear, but if the timing of this storm gets delayed it might create some travel impacts. To be on the safe side, you can always cast your ballot over the weekend before the storm arrives.
