An “impactful winter storm” will move into the Denver metro by Tuesday evening, bringing considerable snow to the area and greatly impacting travel along the I-25 corridor through Wednesday afternoon, according to forecasters with the National Weather Service (NWS) in Boulder.

The latest storm system has already started making its way through the San Juans and southern valleys of Colorado with a lull in snowfall happening between now and early Tuesday morning.

One to two feet of new snow are "not out of the question" for the San Juan mountains and another 6 to 10 inches of snow for the southern valleys are possible when all is said and done, NWS officials in Grand Junction said Monday morning.

Winter weather advisories will be in effect from 11 a.m. Tuesday through 5 p.m. Wednesday for the Gore and Elk mountains as well as the central mountain valleys, and will affect cities like Aspen, Vail, Snowmass, Ridgway, Glade Park, Telluride, Ouray and Lake City.

Those in the mountains are advised to plan on slippery road conditions as travel could be very difficult due to patchy blowing snow which could “significantly reduce visibility,” especially on ridge tops and mountain passes, forecasters said.
