Mountain Snow, High Winds Prompt Advisory in Colorado High Country as Denver Stays Dry

Forecast uncertainty keeps Denver’s first measurable snow in doubt.

Overview

  • A National Weather Service advisory runs from 8 p.m. Sunday to 5 p.m. Monday for the Park Range and Rabbit Ears Pass.
  • Forecasters expect 3 to 8 inches above 9,000 feet in parts of West Jackson and West Grand counties, with up to 9 inches on Mount Zirkel.
  • Gusts of 55 to 75 mph above 9,000 feet could create blowing snow and difficult travel on high mountain passes.
  • The weather service warns of snow-covered roads and advises caution for those driving through mountain corridors.
  • Denver is forecast to remain dry through at least Tuesday, and model disagreements leave any midweek low-elevation snow uncertain.
