WEATHER ALERT: HEAVY SNOW/STRONG WINDS POSSIBLE FOR SOME ON THURSDAY
TONIGHT: Clouds increasing as our next system moves in yielding breezy conditions with temps in the 30's. A few rain showers expected before 5am.
THURSDAY: BLIZZARD WARNINGS are in effect (9am-Midnight) for parts of Nothern El Paso County where strong winds and snow will develop through the day yielding reduced visibility through the Palmer Divide areas. Moderate to heavy snowfall expected for northern El Paso, Teller, and Douglas Counties during the daytime. Yes, snow will be a problem but the combination of very strong winds is looking to be the bigger issue.
Cold frontal passage will happen late morning in El Paso County and increase wind speeds to 20-30mph sustained with gusts 50+mph. Expect visibilities during the late morning and afternoon hours to be incredibly limited associated with the blowing and drifting snow. As of this writing, the National Weather Service still has Winter Storm Watches in effect, but don't be surprised to see them changed to Winter Storm Warning and/or Blizzard Warnings.
EXTENDED: Slight ch of snow and cloudiness on Friday with cooler temps in the 30's and 40's before we clear out and dry out for the weekend with milder temps returning
