Light snowfall will continue in the mountains through Monday night, with up to three inches of new snow accumulation expected, according to the National Weather Service.
NWS meteorologists expect several inches of snow around Rabbit Ears Pass and the Park Range in northern Colorado, according to Monday’s hazardous weather outlook from the NWS.
While the plains can expect a milder day, with temperatures in the upper 40s and lower 50s, a mixed bag of light snow and freezing drizzle will spill over area tonight, NWS forecasters stated on social media.
Larimer and Weld counties will see the worst tonight’s sleet, but much of the northern plains will see slick travel conditions form overnight into Tuesday morning from freezing precipitation, the hazardous weather outlook stated.
Freezing drizzle will also be possible overnight for the I-25 corridor, potentially creating icy roads for tomorrow’s morning commuters, according to NWS forecasters.
Another storm system dropping to the south of Colorado could bring more snow Wednesday into Thursday, mainly over the mountains and then further east and south across the Palmer Divide, NWS meteorologists stated in Monday’s outlook.
