Snow will spread over southern Colorado today.
Up to 16 inches could fall over the San Juan’s, up to 8 inches is expected in the higher elevations of the Sawatch and Sangre de Cristo mountains.
The lower elevations in and near the mountains will see a trace to up to 3 inches. However, temperatures will warm above freezing which should result in sufficient melting to limit accumulations to grassy surfaces.
Salida and Buena Vista will see a high of 45, an overnight low of 27.
The San Luis Valley will warm up to 49, a low of 23.
Leadville and Fairplay will see a high of 33, a low of 17.
Drier and warmer weather returns for the weekend with another storm system expected to bring snow to the mountains next week.
