Extended outlook forecast:
Looking ahead the the system on Sunday, we will get another blast of cold air from the north. Snow will spill into the western portion of the state, and I-25 will start off with just clouds. There is still a lot of uncertainty with this system, and some areas there will be a tight gradient with snow accumulations.
The problem with this system will be lack of moisture, and combined with downsloping winds this will create some lower totals for Colorado Springs. Pueblo however has a chance to get and inch or two. Again, with how tight the gradients will be some areas may not get anything while other areas might see some higher totals. We will continue to adjust the snow accumulations as this system gets closer.
