The city of Denver, Colorado — It is anticipated that snow showers will return to Colorado late Thursday night and continue until Friday morning. This will bring about an increase in the number of travel hazards over the Front Range, mountain corridors, and plains.
A new bout of snow is expected to come early on Friday morning, as stated by the National Weather Service in Denver/Boulder. For the time being, snowfall will decrease on Thursday evening. In mountainous regions such as Estes Park, Aspen, and Vail, there is a possibility of accumulations ranging from two to five inches, while on the plains close to Colorado Springs and Fort Collins, the quantity of precipitation is anticipated to be less. As a result of temperatures that dropped below freezing overnight, the Palmer Divide might also experience icy conditions.
Prepare yourself for slick roads, poor visibility, and potentially ice areas, especially during the Friday morning commute. Drivers should be prepared for these conditions. The forecast calls for the greatest snowfall to continue through Friday afternoon, after which it will begin to decrease in intensity until the evening hours.
Those who forecast the weather recommend consulting cotrip.org for the most recent information on road conditions and allowing additional time for travel. In addition to contributing to Colorado’s ongoing snowpack recovery, this system comes after several weeks of spring weather that has been unpredictable.
Carrying chains or snow tires and considering alternative routes in the event that circumstances worsen are two things that motorists should do when traversing mountain passes. Temperatures are forecast to somewhat improve by Saturday, although there is a possibility that residual ice will remain in locations that are shadowed.
