WEATHER ALERT: More Snow On The Way

FORECAST BRIEF: Our next system brings snow in a bit earlier with several models showing enough moisture and instability to support rain and snow beginning Tuesday evening (after 4pm for Teller and West of I-25 and after 7pm for El Paso and Pueblo counties) and lasting through early Wednesday morning.
Lingering flurries through Wed and Thursday as the low pressure center is likely to become cut-off (lose steering and forward momentum so just becomes stagnant) from the upper level flow (jet stream)
The component of the cut off low is the reason snow is likely to linger off and on through Friday before clearing up by the weekend.

WINTER STORM WATCH in effect for portions of the Pikes Peak region where 4-7" possible around N. El Paso county and snow accumulations between 7-12 inches possible around Teller county, The Rampart Range and Pikes Peak.

Tuesday: first part of the day features some partly sunny skies with temps in the 40's before clouds begin increasing through the afternoon with snow developing after 4pm and lasting through Wednesday morning.

Wednesday: After the 1st round comes through Tuesday evening to Wednesday morning, there will be a break then lingering snow bands (heavy at times) for portions of the Palmer Divide, Teller and Northern El Paso county through the early to late afternoon.

If you get caught in one of these bands Wednesday afternoon...expect blowing snow producing whiteout conditions, reduced visibility and roads to become coated quickly.

Extended: Thursday and Friday features a chance of snow with temps in the 30's and 40's before clearing skies return for the weekend.
