Extended Outlook: A large and powerful area of low pressure that sits over the Great Basin until late Friday night will produce an unsettled pattern for parts of Colorado late this week. Most of the precipitation will fall over the mountains, especially the San Juans. These areas will be measuring snow in feet through the holiday weekend. Closer to home, we're tracking a weaker disturbance coming off the mountains on Friday, with a chance for light rain and snow showers. Snow levels will rise on Friday, with the lower elevations turning to rain by the afternoon. Dry skies return for Saturday and Sunday.
