Denver, CO – Light snow and gusty winds are impacting Colorado’s high country this morning, bringing early-season winter travel concerns across the Front Range and Park Range Mountains.
According to the National Weather Service in Denver/Boulder, snowfall amounts of 1 to 4 inches are expected at the highest elevations, with the most accumulation near Trail Ridge Road, Cameron Pass, and Rabbit Ears Pass. Winds up to 50 mph could create areas of blowing snow, reducing visibility for drivers.
Forecasters noted that the snow began early Sunday morning and will taper off by midday. Travelers heading into the high country are urged to use caution and monitor cotrip.org for the latest road conditions.
While lower elevations including Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins will mainly see rain, slick roads are possible in mountain corridors above 8,000 feet. Outdoor enthusiasts and hikers are advised to prepare for cold, windy, and slippery conditions.
This marks one of the season’s first measurable snowfalls across Colorado’s mountains as fall transitions toward colder weather.
