Grand Junction, CO – A fast-moving winter storm is sweeping across northern Colorado today, bringing light snow to mountain areas and impacting road conditions through Saturday morning. Mountain passes, including Rabbit Ears and Vail, may experience icy, snow-packed conditions, potentially hindering travel.
According to the National Weather Service, snow is expected to taper off early Saturday, but drivers should remain cautious, particularly on elevated terrain and mountain passes. Light accumulations of two to four inches are forecast, with slightly higher amounts possible in northern ranges. Daytime travel may be manageable, but evening hours could see worsening conditions as temperatures drop.
The weekend brings a brief reprieve, with sunny skies and highs near 47 degrees on Saturday. However, another system moves in Sunday, potentially bringing a mix of rain and snow showers before clearing in the afternoon. Motorists are advised to prepare for fluctuating weather patterns and monitor updates if traveling through mountain regions.
By Monday, mostly sunny skies return with highs in the mid-40s, offering a respite before cooler conditions settle midweek. Residents and travelers should remain vigilant for additional storm systems expected to impact the area starting late next week.
Stay informed by checking weather updates frequently, and take precautions if driving in affected regions today and tonight.
