...Winter Storm Bringing Snow and Gusty Winds to Portions of
Northeast and North Central Colorado This Weekend...
.A Four Corners low will track across Colorado this weekend
bringing snow, possibly heavy at times, to the mountains and
plains of north central and northeast Colorado. Snow will begin
in the high country Saturday evening and spread east across the
northeast plains of Colorado late Saturday night and Sunday
morning. Prior to the snow, parts of northeast Colorado will see
freezing drizzle which will make roads very slippery.
As the storm intensifies northerly winds will increase to 25 to
40 mph by Sunday afternoon across the eastern plains. The gusty
winds will produce areas of blowing snow which may reduce
visibilities to less than a mile at times. Snowfall is expected to
decrease from west to east Sunday afternoon and evening.
