Arctic Blast & Snow Headed Our Way

Tonight:  Partly to mostly cloudy with snow developing over the mountains along and west of the Continental Divide. We expect some wind, especially over and near the mountains. Temperatures will fall into the teens and 20s for most areas tonight, but single digits are more likely over the high mountain valleys.

Extended:  Snow is likely over the mountains along and west of the Continental Divide off and on through at least early Wednesday with winter driving conditions expected. Monday will be a relatively warm day, especially over the far eastern plains where some areas may again reach the 60s, but 40s and 50s are more likely over and near the mountains, and all areas will be windy.

Much colder air will move over eastern Colorado late Monday and Tuesday. The heart of the next storm should pass to our north, but we expect a strong, cold wind over much of eastern Colorado through at least Wednesday, and probably through Thursday over the eastern plains. Although the heaviest snow with this storm looks to miss us to the northeast, the storm will be close enough that there could be a period of snow or at least scattered snow showers over and near the mountains Monday night and Tuesday, with the best chances over the higher terrain in the Pikes Peak Region. The end of the week looks breezy and chilly, but dry.
