MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES WITH HEAVY SNOW POSSIBLE TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...
.Winter will make an early arrival as a strong system from the north will bring much colder temperatures as well as accumulating snow to the region. Temperatures will drop quickly behind a cold front Monday evening with snow starting shortly after midnight over the higher terrain and foothills. Snow levels are expected to drop Tuesday morning, with accumulating snow possible for the Front Range, I-25 corridor and Metro areas. Snow falling on trees in full leaf may cause branches to break or other tree damage. Scattered power outages will also be possible. Roadways could become slippery and slushy especially across the higher terrain. The system will move out by late Wednesday with snowfall coming to an end and conditions improving.
