Grand Junction, CO — Snow showers are set to return to western Colorado on Tuesday night, with a stronger winter storm developing later in the week. Residents should prepare for changing road conditions and possible travel disruptions, especially in the mountains.
According to the National Weather Service in Grand Junction, snow showers will begin late Tuesday, mainly after 11 p.m., bringing light accumulations. Another system will move in Thursday evening, delivering one to three feet of snow in higher elevations and making travel hazardous across the region.
Monday and Tuesday will be mostly sunny, with highs near 50°F before the snow arrives. By Wednesday, temperatures will drop, with a high of just 40°F and a chance of lingering morning snow showers. Thursday will start partly sunny, but snow is expected to develop by the evening, continuing into Friday and Saturday.
Drivers should monitor road conditions, especially along I-70 and mountain passes, as snowfall could create icy and slick surfaces. Those traveling later in the week should prepare for significant delays.
