Cold Weather Advisories for wind chills of -20 are in place for tonight over our mountain valleys, eastern Fremont, El Paso, Pueblo, Crowley, and Kiowa counties. Please prepare ahead of time and use extreme caution if you must be outside tonight, and remember to bring pets indoors! A secondary push of Arctic air will also usher in chances for light snowfall across the area, beginning this afternoon over the Continental Divide, and pushing into the Palmer Divide later this evening. Though snowfall totals will be light (generally less than 2 inches) travel impacts from blowing snow and degraded visibilities will be possible tonight, especially over area mountain passes. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday Light snow will continue across the southeast mountains and plains on Monday bringing additional accumulations of an inch or two across southern portions of the southeast plains and the southeast mountains south of highway 50. Bitter cold wind chills will continue on Monday with readings staying below zero across the plains and in the negative teens and 20s across the mountains. Extremely dangerous wind chills will be possible Tuesday night with readings as cold as 50 below zero across the mountains, and as cold as 30 to 35 below zero across the southeast plains and mountain valleys respectively. Wind chills this cold could cause frostbite in as little as 15 minutes or less. Temperatures will rebound for Tuesday, but another cold night can be expected Tuesday night for the mountain valleys where readings will drop to between 5 below and 15 below zero wind wind chills as cold as 24 below zero. Below normal temperatures will continue through the end of the work week with another chance of snow possible next weekend. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
