DENVER — Denver’s snow totals could range between 2 to 4 inches and blizzard conditions are likely to hammer the Palmer Divide, including the Castle Rock area, making for treacherous travel conditions as the latest winter storm continues to drop heavy snow in Colorado’s mountains.
“A storm system will produce blizzard conditions over the Palmer Divide and possibly to portions of the eastern plains tonight through Monday morning. Winds gusts up to 60 mph may occur with very poor visibility,” said the NWS. A blizzard warning will also go into effect at 6 p.m. Sunday for Elbert, central and eastern Douglas Counties including the cities of Castle Rock, Larkspur and Kiowa where widespread blowing snow could create dangerous conditions on the roads along with dropping between 4 and 8 inches of accumulation by Monday morning, said the NWS.
“In the mountains, periods of snow will occur with the highest amounts in the central mountains,” added the NWS. Snow will also develop in the foothills and Denver metro area by late afternoon or early evening. Heaviest snowfall will be in the southern foothills.” DENVER METRO AREA SNOW TIMELINE For Denver, the first half of the day should start out dry before rain arrives then switch over to snow by the evening hours.
Motorists should prepare for slick and treacherous conditions Sunday night and Monday morning especially along I-25 south of Denver and I-70 through the mountains, added Donaldson.
