DENVER (KDVR) – A snowstorm is heading to Colorado. While Denver will only see a few flakes, other areas of the state could see more than half a foot of snow.

Despite sunny skies over Colorado this past weekend, the Pinpoint Weather team is tracking a storm that is expected to strengthen Monday afternoon.

Temperatures will be above freezing in Denver, so the metro may see just a few flakes with little to no accumulation on Monday evening. Other areas in the southern half of the state have better opportunities.

A winter weather advisory is in effect for Interstate 25 south of Colorado City and the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains from midday Monday through early Tuesday morning. In places along I-25, 3 to 5 inches could be visible, but in places above 7,000 feet, up to 10 inches could be seen.

Snowfall expected across the Front Range

Here’s a look at which nearby areas saw some flakes.

Only light snow is expected to fall in the Front Range, while some mountain towns like Aspen are expected to see up to four inches of snowfall.

The Pinpoint Weather team expects an inch of clearance between Interstate 70 and the Palmer Divide. So if you’re traveling in or out of the mountains on Monday, be aware of slippery roads and possible visibility issues.
