Thanksgiving Weather Forecast: Storm To Impact Colorado Travel

A snow storm is making its way across Colorado, and will hit the hardest Tuesday morning, according to the National Weather Service. While better travel conditions are expected on Wednesday, another storm is expected to hit Thursday and Friday.

Anyone with Tuesday travel plans in northern Colorado should cancel or delay them, weather officials said.

"Snow will be heavy at times ... making travel difficult to nearly impossible," the National Weather Service said in an alert. "If you must travel, carry a shovel. Keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency."

Up to 16 inches of snow is expected north of Interstate 70.

The storm will also impact travel to southern Wyoming, Nebraska and northwest Kansas.

"The eastern plains will see gusty winds up to 35-40 mph, producing considerable blowing and drifting snow & near blizzard conditions," National Weather Service Boulder said in an alert.

A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 5 p.m. Tuesday for the Denver metro area and Boulder.

While the clouds are expected to part Wednesday, another storm could hit northern Colorado on Thanksgiving day. Snow showers are expected to continue through Friday night and possibly into Saturday morning.
