Denver, CO – Rain, snow, and gusty winds are expected to return to the Denver metro area Tuesday, with travel impacts likely along I-25. A mix of rain and snow will begin Tuesday morning, intensify through the evening, and linger into midweek, according to the National Weather Service.
A 60 percent chance of precipitation is forecast for Tuesday, with wind gusts up to 25 mph potentially reducing visibility on highways. Overnight lows will dip near freezing Tuesday night, increasing the chance for slick road conditions during the Wednesday morning commute. Mountain areas will see higher snowfall, with light accumulations possible.
The National Weather Service in Boulder says a stronger storm system will sweep through the region Monday night into Tuesday, especially impacting areas above 6,000 feet. West of Denver, mountain roads may become hazardous, especially across the Front Range and through Clear Creek and Summit counties.
Residents should prepare for rapidly changing weather conditions and allow extra time for morning travel. Drivers on I-25 and I-70 are urged to monitor CDOT alerts and check road conditions before heading out.
