Drivers should be prepared for a snowy Monday morning commute in areas across Colorado, including the Denver metro area. Denver and neighboring areas can expect 1 to 7 inches of new snow with winds to gust up to 40 mph, across Denver, with stronger winds to the south and east. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) warns drivers of potentially hazardous morning conditions on Monday due to forecasted snow and high winds, which could create blizzard-like conditions with blowing snow and low visibility. Areas of higher concern include the Palmer Divide (Interstate 25, CO 83, and CO 105) and I-70 near Limon. Several winter weather and high wind alerts will be in effect across Colorado, through Monday evening. CDOT said if commuters are able to work remotely and avoid traveling during the brunt of the storm Monday morning, it is encouraged.
