Denver, CO – A winter weather advisory remains in effect for Colorado’s high-elevation regions until 11 p.m. MST Friday, as additional snowfall continues to impact travel. The National Weather Service warns that roads will be slick and hazardous, particularly in mountain passes and higher elevations.
According to the National Weather Service in Denver, up to three inches of additional snow accumulation is expected in areas above 9,000 feet, including the Eisenhower Tunnel, Berthoud Pass, Winter Park, and the Indian Peaks. The advisory also covers Rocky Mountain National Park and the Medicine Bow Range, where up to two inches of additional snowfall is anticipated.
The snowfall is expected to create hazardous travel conditions, particularly for those commuting Friday evening.
