The snowfall forecast has intensified throughout the day on Tuesday, with much of the I-25 corridor having the potential for more than 18 inches of accumulation between Wednesday morning and Friday.

Some of the heaviest totals are set to fall along the Continental Divide and the I-25 corridor.

Roads are expected to become extremely dangerous and travel may become nearly impossible. Thursday is expected to be especially problematic.

Aspen: 0 percent chance

Bailey: 71 percent chance
