...SEASON`S FIRST ACCUMULATING SNOW EXPECTED FOR THE I-25 CORRIDOR...

.A strong cold front and upper level storm system will move into the area Sunday evening. Temperatures will drop rapidly with the passage of the cold front. Snow will develop over the mountains and higher foothills, with rain developing during the evening in lower elevations. Temperatures will turn cold enough for rain to change over to snow across most of the I-25 Corridor toward the midnight hours and then across the eastern plains late Sunday night or Monday morning.

The mild weather today and most of Sunday would make an excellent time to prepare for winter`s return. Check car tires and ensure your emergency kits, flashlights, blankets, ice scrapers etc. are in place and all ready to go. Drain outdoor sprinkler systems to protect them from the well below freezing temperatures expected by Monday night.
