Snow showers will continue over the mountains today, with
generally light accumulations. The snow will increase around
Rabbit Ears Pass this afternoon, and over the rest of the
mountains from the Front Range westward this evening. West winds

higher elevations and east slopes of the Front Range, gusts up to
75 mph are possible overnight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

The mountains will continue to see periods of snow and strong
winds Sunday, with the snow slowly decreasing Sunday night. Wind
gusts to 60 mph along with snowfall will make travel very difficult
due to blowing snow and poor visibilities through Sunday night.

For the east slopes of the Front Range and plains, it will remain windy
on Sunday. Gusts up to 40 mph can be expected again, with gusts to
80 mph possible in the Front Range foothills. The winds on the
plains will diminish in the evening, but it will stay windy in the
foothills Sunday night with some decrease on Monday.

Dry and warmer conditions can be expected for Tuesday through
Thursday, with a chance of snow developing over the the mountains
by Friday night.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
