Snow in the Rockies; Showers and Thunderstorms Along the Gulf Coast; Potential Winter Storm for Northern Mid-Atlantic and Interior New England

A winter-like pattern will continue over much of the Lower 48 over the next few days, with snow stretching from the Rockies today into the Middle Mississippi Valley on Monday. Showers and thunderstorms will develop along the Gulf Coast and Southeast on Monday. As the storm moves northward late Monday into Tuesday, winter weather is possible from the Central Appalachians to Interior New England. Read More >

The next round of snow will start in the mountains later this morning, with snow becoming widespread and heavier this afternoon and evening. Plan accordingly if headed to the high country, and be prepared for longer travel times and slick roads. On the plains and I-25 Corridor, we'll see areas of mostly light snow or flurries develop late this afternoon and evening. However, a couple briefly heavy bands will be possible this evening, with the highest chance generally along and south of I-70. A couple spots could see at least 2 inches of snow, but most areas will only see a dusting to one half inch.
Travel impacts will return to the mountains today and tonight as another system brings several inches of snow to the high country. Between 3 and 8 inches are expected to accumulate across most of the higher elevations, and a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 11am today through 5am Monday. Prepare for hazardous travel conditions across all mountain passes during the latter half of the day, especially late this afternoon and evening when a few heavier bands may impact the I-70 corridor.
