Winter Storm Warning Issued For Front Range: What To Know

The National Weather Service has issued a weather alert for the Front Range. A winter storm warning is in effect from 6 a.m. Sunday until 6 a.m. Monday.

Up to 10 inches of snow is expected to fall throughout the day and overnight, weather officials said.

"Temperatures will be very cold, with highs only in the teens to lower 20s on Sunday," the alert read.

"Lows Sunday night will be below zero over the higher terrain with single digits over the plains."

Drivers can expect "slick" roads, particularly Monday morning, weather officials said.

"If you are planning to travel, be prepared for slower than normal travel conditions, and use extra time to reach your destination safely," the agency's warning read.

"If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency."

"Be prepared for the sharp change in temperatures and dress warmly in several layers of clothing," the alert read.

Some city roadways that have been blocked off for business expansion may reopen for plows, officials warned.

Up to a foot of snow could fall onto the Cameron Peak and East Troublesome fires. Fire officials said crews are hopeful that the snow storm will help them battle the wildfires, but that they aren't relying on the weather. Over the summer, weather was expected to help crews multiple times in Colorado, but wildfires proved too strong, fire officials said.

The Front Range winter storm warning includes Denver, Aurora, Boulder, Arvada, Golden, Lakewood, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock, Longmont, Brighton, Fort Collins and other cities.
