Denver, CO – Drivers across the Front Range should prepare for slick and slow travel conditions as another round of light snow moves into the Denver and Boulder areas this afternoon and continues into the evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Denver/Boulder, light snowfall is expected across much of northeastern Colorado, with accumulations of 1 to 4 inches possible on the plains and along the Interstate 25 corridor. Forecasters say the highest totals in the metro area are likely to fall over western portions of the I-25 corridor, including parts of Jefferson and Boulder counties.
Snowfall amounts are expected to increase with elevation. The foothills and Palmer Divide could see 1 to 3 inches, while mountain communities may receive 2 to 5 inches by late tonight. The snow is expected to taper off overnight as colder air settles across the region.
Weather officials warn that road conditions could deteriorate quickly, especially during the Monday afternoon and evening commute. Slick spots and reduced visibility are possible on major routes including I-25, I-70, and U.S. 36, particularly after sunset when temperatures begin to drop.
Behind the snow, much colder air will move in overnight. Most of the region is expected to see below-zero temperatures, increasing the risk of refreezing on untreated roads and sidewalks early Tuesday morning.
Drivers are urged to slow down, allow extra stopping distance, and check current road conditions before heading out. Residents should also take precautions against the cold, including protecting pets, pipes, and exposed skin.
