URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Denver CO
939 AM MDT Thu Mar 19 2020
...HEAVY SNOW AND STRONG WINDS TO IMPACT NORTH-CENTRAL AND
NORTHEAST COLORADO THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY MORNING...
..A storm system moving over Colorado will bring moderate to heavy
snowfall to the mountains this morning, then spreading over the
plains changing rain over to heavy snow this morning and into the
early afternoon. Winds gusting up to 55 mph across the plains
will create hazardous travel conditions especially this afternoon
and evening. The strongest winds will occur just east of I-25,
while the heaviest snow may occur in and near the Front Range
Foothills and Palmer Divide. Snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per
hour are possible. Precipitation beginning as rain and low
confidence in temperatures are leading to lower confidence in the
total snow amounts. However confidence in the significant impact
of the snow and strong wind is high.
Stay tuned to the National Weather Service for the latest updates
regarding this storm.
