30 inches in 36 hours: Snow forecast intensifies in southern Colorado
According to the National Weather Service, the next 36 hours could bring quite a bit of snow to southern Colorado.
Up to 30 inches of snow could fall in the mountains north of Pagosa Springs between Wednesday morning and Thursday evening in the ‘most likely’ scenario, which is where the highest totals during this storm are expected. Meanwhile, areas around Trinidad and mountains south of Silverton could get up to two feet.

While this snow near the southern Colorado border is expected to be a bit heavier and a bit more widespread than was initially forecasted, what’s likely to be one of the most impactful changes comes in the form of snow totals expected to hit Colorado Springs. Originally, around two to three inches were expected. That has since increased to four to six inches, with the Pueblo forecast now in the same range, as well.
In a ‘high end’ snowfall scenario that has a one in 10 chance of playing out, deeper totals are more likely to be widespread.

As a result of the incoming snow, multiple winter weather-related alerts have been activated in southern, southwest, and southeast Colorado.
