There will be a chance of snow or a mix of rain and snow as well with or shortly after the passage of the cold front. Along the Palmer Divide east of Interstate 25 and south of Interstate 70, up to one inch of snowfall will be possible by late this evening, with little to no snow accumulation expected elsewhere. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday Snow becomes light in the mountains Thursday, but roads may remain snow covered and slippery through Thursday morning. Gusty north to northwest winds will prevail Thursday as well. The strongest winds will be found over the plains where gusts to 55 mph will be possible.
