...BOUTS OF SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW HEADED FOR THE MOUNTAINS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...

.A powerful and moist Pacific jet stream will bring several waves of snow and blowing snow to the mountains. Light snow will occur tonight, but a stronger storm will arrive by Friday evening. That storm will last through much of Saturday before decreasing late in the day. Strong winds and blowing snow will accompany this storm, creating hazardous travel conditions in the Colorado high country, including the I-70 Corridor from Georgetown through Vail Pass.

Travel conditions may improve for later Saturday night into Sunday morning, before the next storm arrives Sunday afternoon and continues through Monday with more snow and blowing snow expected.
