We're dealing with some serious weather whiplash across Colorado! Mid-60s today to blizzard conditions tonight! We're tracking heavy snow in the mountains with rain showers on the plains quickly turning to snow overnight.
Heavy snow along with powerful wind gusts could lead to blizzard conditions along the Palmer Divide and Eastern Plains. A Blizzard Warning is in effect through 5pm Tuesday for those areas as they could see wind gusts up to 70 mph and 4 to 10 inches of new snow. It will make travel very difficult, if not impossible at times on Tuesday.
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect until Tuesday afternoon for the northern Front Range mountains and foothills where they could see 7 to 14 inches of new snow.
The Denver metro won't get nearly as much snow as the city is not under any travel alert. Look for a trace to 2 inches of slushy, wet snow along with 40mph wind gusts overnight into Tuesday. The snow continues in the mountains and on the plains through Tuesday afternoon before fully moving out late Tuesday night.
We'll get a brief break Wednesday into Thursday morning before another system brings more rain and snow to the state Thursday evening into Friday. Temperatures will cool again, with more accumulating snowfall possible.
So far, the weekend looks gorgeous with more sunshine and slightly above-average temperatures.
