Denver, CO – A winter weather advisory remains in effect for several Colorado mountain areas until 6 AM Wednesday, with snow accumulations expected to range from 2 to 5 inches. The storm, affecting regions like Rabbit Ears Pass, Rocky Mountain National Park, and the Medicine Bow Range, is also accompanied by wind gusts reaching up to 40 mph, which could create hazardous conditions on roads.
According to the National Weather Service, the snowstorm will impact high-altitude areas, including Summit County, Mosquito Range, and the Indian Peaks. The advisory warns of slippery road conditions, particularly affecting the Tuesday evening commute and travel overnight.
Travelers are advised to exercise caution when navigating mountain roads. Slow-moving traffic and winter driving conditions are expected, so extra time should be factored in for trips.
