Colder weather has settled in across Colorado and we are going to see a series of storms roll through the region over the next week. Some periods of snow will be very welcome for the mountains, which have seen a very dry season so far.
Temperatures will be much colder to start the week with highs in the low 30s for metro Denver and snow.
A storm system and colder air will impact the mountains and the plains, starting Sunday evening and continuing on Monday. This storm will also impact areas south of Denver with the heaviest snow, but the Denver metro could get 2 to 4 inches of snow.
Southwestern Colorado will see the brunt of this system, with Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories posted for the southwestern corner of the state, up through portions of the western slope and mountains south of i70, until Monday morning.
Blizzard-like conditions are to be expected over the southeastern corner of Colorado through Monday night as this system swirls out of the state.
Monday, expect snow for the morning commute across the metro-area. Skies will gradually clear through the day, but temperatures stay cold, in the low 30s for highs. Winds will also be gusty through the day and night from the north.
As this system swirls out of the state, the southeastern corner of Colorado may see blizzard-like conditions. High winds and heavy snow are set to impact the SE plains through Tuesday morning.
Tuesday, we'll see a break in the moisture, milder temperatures and calmer winds. Highs will be in the 40s in the afternoon, ahead of a blast of arctic air.
An Arctic cold front will move into the northern Rockies next week and should slide southward into Colorado by late in the week. Much colder air and some light snow can be expected.
