Fairplay, CO – Snow is expected to develop across Colorado's Front Range mountains Saturday night, October 24, bringing the potential for slick roads and hazardous travel conditions into Sunday morning, October 25. Higher elevations could receive 1 to 3 inches of snow, with locally greater amounts possible in Park County.
According to the National Weather Service in Denver/Boulder, light snowfall is expected across mountain areas above 8,500 feet, extending south into the Mosquito Range. Lower elevations of Park County could also experience snowfall as temperatures fall overnight.
Forecasters are highlighting travel concerns across Park and Summit counties, particularly along higher mountain passes and routes across and south of Interstate 70.
Communities including Fairplay, Bailey and Breckenridge could experience changing road conditions as precipitation develops and temperatures approach freezing.
The latest forecast indicates overnight lows near 31 degrees in Fairplay, 32 degrees near Evergreen and 33 degrees around Lake George. Colder mountain locations may experience freezing temperatures, increasing the potential for slippery pavement.
Snowfall totals are generally expected to range from 1 to 3 inches above 8,500 feet, although some locations in Park County could receive more.
Meanwhile, Denver and surrounding Front Range communities are expected to see milder conditions, with overnight temperatures near 40 degrees and the possibility of light rain showers.
A few light showers could also develop across Colorado's eastern plains before sunrise Sunday.
Looking ahead, the National Weather Service expects warmer conditions Sunday, although mountain snowfall may continue. Rain chances across the plains are forecast at approximately 40% to 60%.
Motorists traveling through the mountains overnight should prepare for rapidly changing conditions, especially on elevated roadways, curves and mountain passes.
