We are looking at a warm and windy day locally with light snow out west over the Continental Divide.

Snow totals out west will be fairly low with most ski areas seeing somewhere between 1 to 5 inches through the evening. Great powder if you want to head west for a few turns!

It'll be windy locally with the strongest winds generally along and south of the Highway 50s corridor through the afternoon.
