A cool morning for the mountains with a few spots in the teens. More snow will hit the ski slopes closer to the Continental Divide Saturday evening. These snow showers will continue through Sunday and Monday.

Extended forecast:
We’re watching for the potential for a storm system to move through the weekend that would bring widespread snow showers to I-25. The timing and location of this storm system is still on the table and could change a few factors as we approach. If this system moves further south, we could see larger impacts.

Timing-wise, we’ll see the snow start on the higher ground and then make its way into the lower elevations by the afternoon. Right now, Tuesday looks to be clear, but if the timing of this storm is delayed, it could create some travel impacts. To be safe, you can always vote the weekend before the storm hits.
