Denver, CO – Snow showers and gusty winds will sweep across Colorado’s mountain regions Tuesday afternoon, creating potentially hazardous conditions for travelers. Temperatures are expected to drop, with roads in higher elevations likely to become slick and icy by late afternoon. Officials urge caution for anyone driving through mountain passes and high-elevation routes as visibility may be reduced, and road surfaces could freeze quickly.

Travelers on mountain highways, including Interstate 70, should prepare for delays and exercise extreme caution. Only scattered rain or light snow is anticipated on the plains, with minimal accumulation expected outside the mountains.
Better conditions are expected by Wednesday as the weather clears, bringing sunny skies and milder temperatures through the end of the week. Highs in the Denver area are forecast to reach around 53°F on Wednesday, climbing to nearly 59°F by Thursday and Friday, with overnight lows in the 20s. The forecast indicates predominantly sunny and dry conditions from Wednesday onward, providing a break from the snowfall.
Travelers should monitor local weather updates and prepare for potential delays on mountain routes Tuesday night. This snowstorm marks one of the early winter events in Colorado’s high country, reminding residents and visitors to remain vigilant as winter weather patterns begin to settle in.
