Colorado: Storm to cause mountain snow, metro rain

KUSA – A very strong cold front will pass over Colorado on Thursday bringing unseasonably cool air and a good chance for rain and snow.

According to the 9NEWS Weather Team, the front will cause temperatures to drop 15 to 30 degrees through the weekend.

In addition to the fall-like temperatures, the storm will bring a very good chance for rain to the metro area and snow to the high country.

As the very unseasonably cool air settles into the state, freezing temperatures will drop to about 10,500 feet on Friday, meaning some high country locations will see the rain change into snow as early as Friday morning.

Locations such as Rocky Mountain National Park, the Indian Peaks Wilderness, Berthoud Pass, and Mount Evans could see several inches of snow. However, the warm ground will prevent much of the snow from accumulating.

Seasonal roads above 11,000 feet such as Trail Ridge Road will likely have to be shut down on Friday because of the snow.
