Please avoid ALL activities that could spark a fire!! Any new fire start could quickly become a very dangerous situation. Damaging winds are also expected through this afternoon, especially for the San Luis Valley and the southern Interstate 25 corridor. Damaging winds could lead to dangerous travel conditions on area roadways with hazardous crosswinds and reduced visibilities in blowing dust. Light and high profile vehicles will be most at risk in crosswinds on north-south oriented roadways. Light snow begins over the central mountains this evening, spreading into the higher elevations of the Pikes Peak region late tonight. Accumulations will be light, generally less than two inches, though roads could become slick and snow covered after sunset in both locations. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday Much cooler and unsettled weather can be expected across the region Friday and Saturday, as a strong Spring storm system moves across the Rockies. Precipitation will increase in coverage and intensity through the day on Friday, with the focus of heavier precipitation then shifting to the southern tier late Friday night into Saturday morning, before winding down from northwest to southeast through the day Saturday. Heavy, wet snowfall is expected across much of the higher terrain across southern Colorado, with 8 to 14 inches of snow possible across the eastern San Juan mountains into the Sangre de Cristo and Wet mountains by Saturday evening. Further north, along the Continental Divide into the Central mountains and Teller County, snowfall of 4 to 9 inches will be possible, with accumulations of 2 to 6 inches possible across the rest of the high mountain valleys into portions of the I-25 Corridor. We also can`t rule out some light snow accumulations, mainly on grassy areas, across the southeast Plains. Please stay tuned to the weather forecast, especially if you have travel plans across the higher terrain for the upcoming Easter weekend. Warmer and drier weather remains in the offing for Sunday into early next week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be possible over portions of the region. $$ 88/88
