A VERY COMPLICATED AND ACTIVE 48 HOURS AWAITS SOUTHERN COLORADO, AND IT STARTS EARLY MONDAY MORNING WITH STRONGER
WINDS ACROSS THE PLAINS AND A FEW SHOWERS DEVELOPING UP AGAINST THE MOUNTAINS FROM UP SLOPE WINDS.
MOST OF THE MAIN ACTIVITY, HEAVIER RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS, WILL WAIT UNTIL THE LATE MORNING OR THE AFTERNOON TO DEVELOP ALONG THE MOUNTAINS AND I-25 CORRIDOR, AND THEN GENERALLY
SPREAD EAST.
SOME MODELING IS SUGGESTING A DRY SLOT WILL KEEP PUEBLO TO TRINIDAD MOSTLY DRY TODAY AND TONIGHT, BUT WITH THE STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM ITS REASONABLE TO ASSUME AT LEAST SOME RAIN WILL
DEVELOP MORE THAN ANYWHERE BY PUEBLO AND WALSENBURG, WITH ISOLATED STORMS BY TRINIDAD.
TONIGHT WE'LL SEE A BREAK IN THE RAIN AND SNOW, WITH A STRONGER PUSH OF RAIN AND HEAVY SNOW TUESDAY MORNING AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEEPENS TO OUR WEST.
SNOW WILL BE HEAVIEST IN THE MOUNAINS, TELLER COUNTY AND OVER THE PALMER DIVIDE, BUT ABOVE FREEZING TEMPERATURES FOR MOST OF THE LOWER ELEVATIONS AND COLORADO CITY PROPER WILL HELP
MAKE TUESDAY MORNING TRAVEL MORE TOLERABLE.
MONUMENT HILL SHOULD EXPECT A COUPLE TO A FEW INCHES OF SNOW IN THE GRASS AND SNOW TO SLUSH ON THE ROADS THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING, WHILE TELLER COUNTY WILL SEE SOMEWHERE BETWEEEN 2 TO
5 INCHES, MOSTLY ON THE GRASS BUT SOME ACCUMULATION ON THE ROADS.
COLORADO SPRINGS IS LIKELY TO SEE SNOW CITY WIDE, BUT WITH ACCUMULAION REALLY ONLY HAPPENING NORTH OF BRIARGATE IN THE GRASS.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE WINDY BUT MOSTLY DRY WITH WARMER AND DRY CONDITIONS RETURNING THROUGH THE WEEK.
