Spring snow ahead – 5/8/19
TODAY: Off and on rain showers are in the forecast for the first half of the afternoon. Coverage should increase through the evening drive.

The Palmer Divide and places west of the interstate will be seeing the best chance for wintry weather. Winter weather advisories are in place for Teller County through 6AM on Friday.
