Description
Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories are in place for most of Colorado's mountains through Saturday.
Snow accumulations up to 3 feet are possible in the mountains. The National Weather Service said travel could be very difficult to impossible during the commutes on Friday and Saturday.
The significant winter storm will deliver heavy and widespread snow with a 6-16 inches in some of the mountain towns by Saturday night and 2-3 feet of snow on some of the mountain passes and ski areas.
Colorado will see a break in the weather for most of the day on Sunday, but snow from the next storm system will likely show up in the mountains after sunset.

Highs will be near 50 degrees in the Denver area on Friday with a mix of clouds and sunshine. Then, a wave of mix rain and snow showers moves through after 3 p.m.
A few isolated spots could pick up a little rain or even some measurable snow. The highest odds for accumulating snow will be on the east and south sides of the Denver metro area, where there's a bit more lift and instability.
The Denver area will remain chilly on Saturday with another chance for light snow showers again between 5 p.m. and midnight. In total, some spots on the Front Range could get an inch or two of snow accumulation by Sunday morning although most will likely see less than a half inch or nothing at all.
Colorado's next storm system will likely show up in the mountains after sunset late Sunday. That storm will potentially bring the Denver area some snow impacts on Monday night and possibly Tuesday morning.
At this point, the snow looks like a minimal impact but Denver could see its temperatures drop down close to zero degrees again by Wednesday morning. Light snow could continue for a few days as well, though with generally lighter accumulations.
