A series of winter weather events are impacting the region with significant snowfall and cold temperatures. On Wednesday, heavy snow is expected to continue, with widespread accumulations of 3-6 inches and higher totals over the Palmer Divide and southern mountains, potentially exceeding a foot in areas like Rye, Buelah, and La Veta. Temperatures will remain cold, in the 20s and low 30s. Thursday will see a drying trend with dropping temperatures, leading to icy roads in the morning. The weather will warm slightly into the weekend, with highs mostly in the 40s and some 50s, and mostly dry conditions, although mountain snow showers are possible Saturday. A First Alert Weather Day has been declared for Thursday morning due to a system bringing light snow, which could cause traffic issues during the morning commute. Snow will start as isolated flurries around midnight, intensify between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m., and mostly clear out by 7 a.m. The snow is expected to be light, with an inch or two possible, but accumulation depends on cold temperatures and precipitation intensity. Additionally, a system from the South is monitored for Friday, with models indicating light snow arriving possibly as early as the morning commute, especially from Richmond south and east. A changeover to a wintry mix is expected by Friday afternoon in some areas, with light snow accumulations possible. The overall forecast suggests a trend of impactful snow Wednesday, followed by drier conditions into the weekend, with ongoing cold temperatures and potential for additional snow events.
