It's now clear an incoming storm will track too far north to bring anything more than showers and and sharply colder temperatures to the metro area.
Just a few days ago there was concern about a potential blizzard in Denver. Now it is clear the storm will track too far north to bring anything more than showers and and sharply colder temperatures to the metro area.Before the storm arrives, Monday will be generally quiet with only an increase in afternoon clouds and southwesterly winds that continue to be gusty at times.
Most of Monday will be dry for most of the state but the mountains will see a few light snow showers mainly south of I-70 by late afternoon. Then snow will quickly spread across almost all mountain areas Monday night into Tuesday morning. Travel will become slow and difficult in the high country including along I-70 above Georgetown.
The Winter Storm Warning is for areas west of Vail Pass where up to 16 inches of snow will accumulate in the San Juan Mountains, the Vail and Aspen areas, and across the Flat Tops and into the Steamboat Springs area.
