Denver, CO – A winter weather advisory is in effect for Colorado’s mountain regions, including Breckenridge and Rocky Mountain National Park, until 6 AM MDT Wednesday. Snowfall is expected to accumulate between 6 and 14 inches, with winds gusting as high as 50 mph.
According to the National Weather Service, areas above 9,000 feet in West Jackson, West Grand, and Summit Counties, along with other mountain ranges like the Medicine Bow Range and Indian Peaks, are experiencing snow. Travel in these areas may become hazardous due to snow-covered roads and reduced visibility.
Travelers should plan for slow and potentially dangerous conditions, especially in mountain passes such as Rabbit Ears and Berthoud Pass. The National Weather Service urges those heading into the mountains to check cotrip.org for real-time road updates and traction laws.
With snow and wind likely to persist through the night, residents and visitors are advised to exercise caution and allow extra travel time. Winter driving conditions are expected to continue until early Wednesday morning, impacting both local traffic and tourism in the affected regions.
