Spring Storm Brings Mountain Snow and Spotty Rain to Southern Colorado

Overview

• Southern Colorado, which saw the system arrive Sunday, is getting snow in the high country and scattered rain with a few thunderstorms at lower elevations.
• Winter weather advisories cover mountain travel as snow focuses on higher elevations near the Continental Divide and roads turn slick at the passes.
• Thunderstorms grow more likely Monday afternoon and evening, with localized heavier downpours possible from Colorado Springs to the Eastern Plains.
• Tuesday trends drier but windy, and fire danger rises as gusts pick up and humidity drops across parts of the region.
• Rain chances increase again midweek, and Thursday currently looks like the coolest and most widespread rain day with some areas only in the 50s.
