A mix of winter precipitation is likely for many parts of Colorado including the Front Range, the plains, and adjacent southern mountains.
Be ready for hazardous travel conditions, with the possibility of slippery and snowy roads. Impacts are expected for Monday morning commutes, especially over the plains. New traction laws are also in place on I-70. Make sure you and your vehicle are fully prepared. Be safe out there and use caution when it comes to some of the most dangerous roads in the state.
