Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Cooler and unsettled weather will move into the forecast area
today with snow showers in the mountains, and scattered to
numerous rain showers developing across the plains. Isolated
thunderstorms can also be expected. A few inches of snow will fall
over most of the mountains, with 3-6 inches common in elevations
above 9,500 feet, and locally heavier amounts in the higher
mountains. Some slushy and slick travel conditions can be
expected over the mountain passes, especially early this morning
and then again this evening as temperatures fall.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Warmer and drier weather will redevelop for Wednesday into
Thursday, with potential for more critical fire weather
conditions especially as winds increase Thursday.

A colder storm system will likely bring snow to most of the
forecast area by Friday. Slick road conditions and travel impacts
can be expected in most of the mountains, foothills, and even the
Palmer Divide Friday and Friday night. Lighter snow accumulations
will be possible on the plains.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed today or tonight.
