WEATHER ALERT: Snow & high winds into Monday

Tracking potentially damaging wind gusts and snow.

EVENING: Temperatures drop rather quickly to the teens & 20s across the region by 9-10PM. A few snow showers will be possible before midnight, but the bulk of snow and wind arrives overnight.

SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY: Moderate to heavy snow is expected overnight across southern I-25 and the Palmer Divide. This is another topography driven storm, with significantly lower snowfall amounts expected south of Colorado Springs to Pueblo. Snow will come to an end across the I-25 corridor around 1-3 PM.

Winds will also crank Monday morning, with 55-70 MPH gusts across the Pikes Peak Region and along HWY 50. With that said, it wont take much snow for slippery travel. Huerfano, Las Animas & Baca counties should expect blizzard conditions on Monday with gusts up to 75 MPH. Very dangerous travel is expected.

We're also keeping an eye on a potential visit from the Polar Vortex. While it is unknown just how cold it will get, confidence is increasing temperatures will drop well below average between Jan 13th-17th.
