Description
Northbound Interstate 25 was closed due to accidents during a snowstorm near Castle Rock, Colo., on Monday, Dec. 9, 2024.
After a mild and dry weekend, a cold front has entered Colorado, ushering in a chance for snow Monday afternoon and Monday night in the Denver area.
The cold front will bring much colder temperatures to the Denver area. Daytime temperatures will be above freezing Monday, meaning it will be very difficult for snow to stick to anything and accumulate.
The best chance for snow in the Denver metro area comes probably after noon on Monday, but little to no accumulation is expected.
If the snow lingers into the evening hours between 4-9 p.m. Monday, that's probably the best chance for Denver to pick up a little snow on the grassy areas, rooftops, and other cold surfaces. That accumulation, if any, will likely remain under one inch. Other parts of the south and west metro areas above 6,000 feet in elevation still have the potential to get between 1 and 3 inches.
In the mountains, there's a Winter Weather Advisory for the Wet and Sangre de Cristo Mountains of southern Colorado until 5 a.m. Tuesday. That's where 4-10 inches of heavy, wet snow could fall, mainly Monday night.
