Winter Weather Advisory November 1-3, 2021

MMTwx from Chief Meteorologist Steve Hamilton:
Welcome To November...
Colder temperatures and scattered precipitation are expected to start the new month, and the new week. Cool high pressure is moving in from the north, and there is a batch of moist air on the leading edge of it. That will enter Colorado on Monday, and continue to bring a chance of rain and snow through at least Wednesday morning. Snow accumulation is expected to be light, but may cause some slick spots on the roadways. For most areas, there will be rain or a rain/snow mix in the afternoons as temperatures go above freezing. During the overnight hours, snow showers are possible to likely. The highest accumulations will be around Fairplay and Alma, where up to an inch or two will be possible. Much lower amounts elsewhere.
