Denver, CO — Snow is set to sweep across Colorado starting tonight, impacting travel and daily routines for residents from the mountains to the plains. A winter storm is moving in with expected snowfall across the high country Sunday night, followed by snow reaching the I-25 corridor and Denver metro area by Monday morning. Officials warn that this weather system could make Monday’s commute challenging, with snow-covered roads and potential ice hazards in the foothills and beyond.
According to the National Weather Service, snow accumulation is projected to vary widely. While the mountains and foothills could see 3-4 inches or more, the Denver metro area and northeast plains may experience mixed rain and snow with limited accumulation. For those commuting along major routes such as I-25, authorities advise preparing for slower travel times and icy patches that could affect safety.
The storm marks the beginning of an active weather week, with another system expected to bring additional snow and colder temperatures by midweek. Denver residents should anticipate highs in the low 40s on Monday, dipping into the 20s by Tuesday night. As temperatures continue to fall, chances of snow showers increase, especially by Wednesday, when colder air brings higher likelihoods of snow throughout the area.
Drivers are urged to monitor conditions and consider public transit where available, especially during peak commute times. Local authorities recommend keeping an emergency kit in vehicles, including blankets and water, in case of delays. Colorado’s Department of Transportation is also on alert, with crews prepared to treat roads throughout the week as conditions change.
With potential snow accumulations and ongoing cold, residents are advised to check weather updates regularly as the storm progresses, especially if additional snow showers develop later in the week. For now, Coloradans should prepare for wintry travel conditions and plan accordingly.
