The heaviest snow is expected across the southern mountains, with 6 to 12 inches expected across the Wet and Sangre de Cristo mountains. Five to ten inches of snow will be possible across the eastern slopes of the San Juan and La Garita mountains, with 3 to 6 inches across the San Luis Valley, the southern I-25 Corridor and northern portions of the Pikes Peak/Palmer Dvd. Another 1 to 3 inches will also be possible across the rest of south central and southeast Colorado through out the day. In addition to the snow, gusty northerly winds of 15 to 30 mph across southeast Colorado will lead to local areas of blowing snow with slick and slow travel at times, especially across the southeast mountains and southern Interstate 25 corridor. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday Periods of heavy snow are likely Thursday through Friday night across southern portions of the San Luis Valley, southern Sangre de Cristo and Wet Mountains, east into the southern Interstate 25 corridor. Heavy snow will also be possible across the Pikes Peak region. Snow accumulations of 1 to 3 feet are possible for the Sangre de Cristo and Wet Mountain ranges. 1 to 2 feet is possible for the southern Interstate 25 corridor. Elsewhere, generally 5 to 10 inches may be possible. Areas near the Kansas border will depend on how warm temperatures rise, with mostly rain or a rain and snow mix, limiting snow accumulations. Snowfall amounts could be much higher, especially for the southern mountains, east over the southern Interstate 25 corridor and along the New Mexico border. Monitor the forecast for any changes. Snow will come to an end on Saturday morning. Light snow may be possible across the mountains by the middle of next week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be likely over portions of the region. $$ 23/88
