This hazardous weather outlook is for eastern Utah and western
Colorado.
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
Light snow along the Divide will end this morning giving way to
variable cloudiness and warm temps. An approaching cold front will
bring valley rain and accumulating snowfall starting this evening
and continuing overnight. Winter Weather Advisories have been
issued for most Colorado mountains for 6 to 12 inches of snow.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday
Unsettled weather continues through the end of the week as an area
of low pressure forms and sets up around the Four Corners region.
Precip is expected from this system but forecast certainty remains
on the low side as model runs have been anything but consistent.
Suffice to say, expect snow for the San Juan mountains with some
winter weather highlights possible. Lingering moisture persists
through the weekend.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be needed.
