Colorado Springs, CO – A winter storm will bring snow, freezing temperatures, and hazardous travel conditions across Colorado through Wednesday night. Drivers along the I-25 corridor should prepare for slippery roads, while wind chills could drop below zero.
According to the National Weather Service, the first round of snow begins late Monday night, with up to two inches expected near the I-25 corridor and the Continental Divide by Tuesday morning. A second, more significant snowfall event arrives Tuesday night into Wednesday, bringing 2 to 4 inches across the plains and higher totals in the mountains.
Wind-driven snow could reduce visibility, especially over mountain passes like the Palmer Divide and the Raton Mesa. Subzero wind chills are likely Tuesday night into Thursday morning, increasing the risk of frostbite for those outdoors.
Travelers should use caution and check road conditions before heading out. The Colorado Department of Transportation advises carrying emergency supplies, including blankets and food, in case of delays.
The storm clears by Thursday, with sunshine returning, but temperatures will remain below freezing. Stay updated on closures and weather alerts through local authorities.
