Denver, CO – A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for portions of Colorado's high country Monday, November 2, as an approaching storm system brings accumulating snowfall, gusty winds and potentially hazardous travel conditions across mountain passes through late Monday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Denver/Boulder, snowfall will increase in coverage throughout Monday, with 3 to 8 inches of accumulation expected in advisory areas and isolated locations potentially receiving higher amounts.
Snow levels are forecast to drop to approximately 8,000 to 8,500 feet Monday morning , allowing accumulating snow to develop across higher mountain communities and elevated travel corridors.
Forecasters warn that the greatest impacts will occur at or above 8,500 feet, where snow covered roads and gusty winds could create difficult driving conditions.
Travelers heading through mountain passes, including areas near Berthoud Pass, Loveland Pass and Cameron Pass, should prepare for changing road conditions and reduced visibility.
The National Weather Service expects slow and slick travel during both the morning and evening commutes , particularly across higher elevations.
Gusty winds may also produce patchy blowing snow, further reducing visibility along exposed mountain roadways.
Forecast snowfall totals vary significantly by elevation and location, with several mountain areas expected to receive multiple inches while lower valleys see lighter accumulation.
Meanwhile, conditions will be considerably different along Colorado's Front Range and eastern plains.
The National Weather Service indicates that Denver and surrounding lower elevation communities should experience rain rather than accumulating snow .
A few snowflakes could mix with rain across the Palmer Divide Monday night, although significant accumulation is not indicated in the supplied forecast.
Residents traveling between Denver and mountain destinations should remain aware that conditions can change rapidly with increasing elevation.
Drivers are encouraged to check road conditions before departure, allow additional travel time and avoid unnecessary trips across snow covered mountain passes.
