7:05 p.m. Homeless shelters juggle cold weather and coronavirus precautions

Coronavirus has already given homeless shelters enough to worry about, but with a freeze expected overnight, they have a lot on their plate. They now have to find a balance between bringing people in off the street, and protecting them from COVID-19.

6:40 p.m. Snow sticking in Monument

6:10 p.m. Tracking snow as it moves across the state.

5:56 p.m. Latest snowfall forecast from Lead Forecaster Mike Daniels:

KOAA weather

5:37 p.m. As expected, bands of heavier snow are forming over Teller County, the Palmer Divide, Pikes Peak Region and near the mountains. For now, precipitation is still falling as rain over Pueblo and Canon City.

5:10 p.m. Although some areas will be OK, tonight's cold temperatures and associated Freeze Warning could severely damage or even kill crops. Protect your at home garden and pets by covering up when you can, and bringing in the rest.

3:55 p.m. From smoky skies and record heat this past weekend to this! Current temperatures are running between 40 and 60 degrees colder than this time yesterday.

3:45 p.m. Watching some big, fat flakes coming down right now over Cripple Creek. This area could see as much as 8-12" of snow by midday Wednesday. Notice how it's not yet sticking to the streets.

KOAA weather

2:15 p.m. Winter storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories are now in effect across a large part of the News 5 viewing area, and conditions will begin to go downhill through the afternoon and evening hours. Big accumulations are expected from this storm, especially for early September standards.

KOAA weather

1:51 p.m. Snow is starting to increase in coverage and intensity around Gunnison, Chaffee and Saguache counties, and is now pushing into western Fremont County.

11:42 a.m. Colorado has seen an incredible change in the last 24 hours with many places dropping 40 to 50 degrees since Monday afternoon.

11:00 a.m. There have been periods of rain and snow, but the majority of our snow is yet to come.

KOAA Weather

The bulk of our snow accumulation will show up later this afternoon and especially overnight as both the air and road temperatures drop even farther. We can expect slick and dangerous commutes tomorrow morning, particularly in and around mountain areas.
