A new round of winter weather will move into Colorado at the start of the week, bringing several inches of snow to the Denver metro area and more than a foot to some mountain areas. The incoming cold front has prompted the National Weather Service (NWS) to issue Winter Storm Warnings, Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Watches in Colorado. The Denver metro area falls under the Winter Storm Watch in effect from 5 p.m. Tuesday through 5 p.m. Wednesday. Heavy snow is possible in portions of east central, north central and northeast Colorado, including Denver, for five to 10 inches of new snow. Travel may become difficult due to heavy snowfall on roadways from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon. The hazardous conditions could impact the Wednesday morning and Wednesday evening commutes. NWS has issued a Winter Storm Warning for portions of the San Juan Mountains, Four Corners, San Juan River Basin, and Elkhead and Park Mountains beginning at 5 p.m. Monday. One to two feet of snow is expected above 10,000 feet along with wind gusts as high as 40 mph. This system leaves the state by Wednesday night and a weak ridge will briefly build into the area before the next system arrives on Friday.
