Denver, CO – A powerful winter storm is set to bring heavy snow and dangerous cold to Colorado, with conditions worsening Monday night into Wednesday. The National Weather Service warns of accumulating snow, slick roads, and Arctic temperatures that could drop below zero in some areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, snow showers will begin Monday evening and intensify overnight, bringing hazardous travel conditions, particularly on I-70 and I-25. Winds could reach up to 22 mph, creating blowing snow and reducing visibility. By Tuesday night, temperatures are expected to plummet into the single digits, with subzero wind chills making outdoor exposure dangerous.
Snowfall totals could reach several inches, particularly in the foothills and higher elevations. Travel disruptions are likely, especially during the Tuesday morning and evening commutes. Residents are urged to prepare for icy roads, bundle up against extreme cold, and check for school or business closures.
The storm will begin tapering off Wednesday, but bitter cold will persist through midweek. Warmer temperatures may not return until late in the week. Stay updated on road conditions and forecasts to avoid dangerous travel situations.
