Total new snow amounts through tonight for the eastern San Juan Mts will range from 2 to 4 inches, but moderate snow along with gusty west to southwest winds will persist there over the weekend, prompting the issuance of a Winter Weather Advisory. The remainder of the mountains will likely see very light new snow amounts through tonight. Visibility may be degraded at times due to the stronger winds across the higher terrain, producing areas of blowing and drifting snow. Travel may be hazardous at times, especially over Wolf Creek Pass. Spotty elevated fire weather conditions will be possible across Teller County this afternoon, due to low humidity levels and brisk west to southwest winds. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday Moderate to heavy wind driven snow will continue for Saturday and into Sunday morning over the San Juans, with travel impacts due to low visibility remaining possible, especially for Wolf Creek Pass. Elsewhere for the high country, light to moderate and wind driven snow will be possible for Saturday. Snow chances move into the Palmer Divide Saturday night, and into the I-25 corridor by Sunday morning. Most of the plains will see chances for periods of light but wind driven snow on Sunday. Travel impacts may be possible, especially for the Palmer Divide, and areas over and near the higher terrain, due to poor visibility. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be possible over portions of the region. 27/EHR
