Extended outlook forecast:
Looking ahead to Thanksgiving week, Monday will be the only dry afternoon for the entire state and this will be the best day to travel through the mountains. Snow moves into western Colorado and the mountains on Monday night and continues through Wednesday night. For I-25 and eastern Colorado, we will get snow showers late Tuesday night and through the day on Wednesday. If you have to travel on Wednesday, expect winter driving conditions statewide. Then the storm looks to clear out on Thursday morning, leaving us cold but dry for Thanksgiving dinner.
