Snow showers will start to diminish on Monday evening, the NWS said.

The NWS said Monday’s snow showers over the plains will bring wind gusts of 30 to 55 mph with possible blowing dust and reduced visibility.

This storm system will bring colder temperatures and snow to the state late Thursday through Saturday morning. Travel will be impacted by this storm across most of northeast Colorado, the NWS said.

Per Colorado’s Chain Up Law, commercial motor vehicles on I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison must carry sufficient chains or alternative traction devices between Sept. 1 and May 31. These must be installed while chain laws are in effect. Fines can reach up to $1,000.
