Heavy southern mountain snow expected tonight
Monday will start cold, dry, and windy but end snowy, especially in our southern mountains! Highs will be in the 30s and 40s today with gust north to northeast winds behind an early morning cold front.
Snow will start tonight and continue through the first part of Tuesday. The energy for this snow is so far west, we think the best snow amounts will fall in the Wets, Sangres, and areas along I-25 south of Colorado City. Raton Pass and La Veta Pass could be pretty rough drives Tuesday morning.
