Pueblo, CO – A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for the Eastern San Juan Mountains above 10,000 feet, with snowfall expected to total up to 8 inches by 9 p.m. Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, snow began falling early Thursday morning and is forecast to continue through the evening, affecting areas including Wolf Creek Pass and Cumbres Pass.

Travelers along U.S. Highway 160 and high mountain routes should expect delays and difficult conditions, particularly during the Thursday morning and evening commutes. Road conditions are expected to deteriorate rapidly as snow accumulates in the higher elevations.
