...WINTER STORM WATCH FRONT RANGE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS
WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...
...WINTER STORM WATCH BOULDER/DENVER METRO AND PALMER DIVIDE AREA
WEDNESDAY EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...

This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central
Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Scattered snow showers in the mountains will come to an end early
this morning, but early morning travelers can still expect
slippery travel conditions over mountain passes. It will be breezy
to windy in some areas of the mountains and foothills as well
with gusts of 35-45 mph. Those winds will decrease as we head
through the day.

Another round of snow will move into the high country late this
evening and overnight, with slick and hazardous travel conditions
developing. Scattered rain showers will spill onto the plains.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

A strong winter storm is expected to impact the region Wednesday
through Friday. This storm could bring significant snowfall to
portions of Colorado, but confidence remains low regarding the
exact track of this system. The chance for heavy snow continue to
increase, especially for areas in and near the Front Range
mountains, foothills, and Palmer Divide. In the Front Range
mountains and foothills, 1 to 2 feet is snowfall is possible, up
to 18 over the Palmer Divide, and 6 to 12 inches possible around
metro Denver. The hazardous conditions will especially impact the
Thursday morning commute. The snow will taper off Thursday night
into Friday morning, with drier weather expected for the weekend.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed today or tonight.
