Denver, CO – A winter storm is set to disrupt travel across Colorado starting Sunday, bringing heavy snow to mountain regions and gusty winds to highways. Those traveling along I-70 or planning mountain activities are advised to prepare for hazardous conditions.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Denver/Boulder, snow showers will begin in higher elevations Sunday evening, with accumulation of up to 2 inches near the foothills and I-25 corridor by Monday morning. Slick roads and low visibility will pose challenges for commuters. Travelers are urged to monitor the latest road conditions and consider delaying non-essential trips.
Another round of significant snowfall is expected late Tuesday into Wednesday, with accumulations increasing across mountain passes and lower elevations. Winds could reach up to 35 mph, creating areas of blowing snow and dangerous driving conditions. The NWS advises those traveling for Thanksgiving to plan routes carefully and leave early if possible.
Temperatures will remain chilly throughout the week, with highs in Denver ranging from the mid-40s on Monday to the low 30s by Wednesday. Thanksgiving Day could bring a slight chance of snow, but clearer skies are expected by Friday.
Motorists should check CDOT updates for real-time road closures and prepare vehicles with winter safety kits. Residents are also encouraged to secure outdoor items to prevent wind damage during the storm.
