Winter Storm Watch for February 15-16
14 Feb 2020 19:25 #1
by MountainTownAlerts
Winter Storm Watch for February 15-16 was created by MountainTownAlerts
My Mountain Town Weather Update from Chief Meteorologist Steve Hamilton:
Here's the deal. A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for the mountains from late Saturday night through Monday afternoon. (Blue highlight on map.) Heavy snow is possible, with current predictions at 10" to 24", and wind gusts up to 50 mph. No watches are in effect for our foothills communities at this point. (We will update you if any are issued by NWS.)
Please plan on severe winter driving conditions if you are traveling into the CO mountains this weekend. For the foothills, we will likely see some snow from this system on Sunday, but not nearly as much as the mountains. We are working on snow total predictions, but at this point we can count on 2" to 6" by Monday morning.

...ACTION DAY FOR PARTICULATES FROM 400 PM FRIDAY UNTIL 400 PM SATURDAY...
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has issued the following...
WHAT...Action Day for Particulates.
WHERE...Denver, Arapahoe, Jefferson, Douglas, Adams, Broomfield, Boulder and Weld Counties. Locations include, but are not limited to Denver, Boulder, Longmont, and Greeley.
WHEN...400 PM Friday February 14 to 400 PM Saturday February 15
IMPACTS...An Action Day for Particulates is now in effect for the seven-county Denver-Boulder metropolitan area. Requests to limit driving are now in effect until at least 4 PM Saturday, February 15, 2020. Limited mixing and ventilation has increased fine particulate concentrations across portions of the Northern Front Range Urban Corridor. Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups level fine particulate matter concentrations are possible on Friday, decreasing during the day Saturday, with Poor visibility is expected Saturday. For areas included in this advisory that are not expected to exceed the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) air quality designation, we request that activities, such as driving, be reduced to lessen the impacts on neighboring air quality. Additional air pollution in this region may directly diminish air quality or contribute to precursors which may also adversely affect air quality. For Colorado air quality conditions, forecasts and advisories, visit:
www.colorado.gov/airquality/colorado_summary.aspx
HEALTH INFORMATION...Public Health Recommendations: Increasing likelihood of respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals, aggravation of heart or lung disease and premature mortality in people with cardiopulmonary disease and older adults. People with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion.
