Winter Weather Advisory for Clear Creek, Summit, & Park County June 21-23, 2019

From Chief Meteorologist Steve Hamilton:

How We Kick Off Summer In Colorado...
...With a Winter Weather Advisory! The Advisory only covers Fairplay, Jefferson, Como and Alma. We may see a few flakes around Conifer as well. Moist air is moving into northeast Colorado and the foothills following a cold front that passed through Friday morning. Low pressure to our southeast will continue to bring moisture from the Southern Plains into our area through much of the weekend. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected, with best rain chances lasting from tonight through Saturday night. As for the snow, we're looking at the possibility of a rain/snow mix for Conifer, with little or no accumulation. However, around Alma, Fairplay, Jefferson and Como, we could see a half inch or more. Most of the snow would fall in the morning hours Saturday, with another possibility of snow Saturday night into Sunday. Rain will start to taper off by Sunday afternoon, followed by a period of fair and warmer weather.
