Gusty winds expected in higher elevations on Monday could cause blowing snow and white-out conditions for drivers on mountain passes, forecasters said.

Temperatures will still surge to the 40s and 50s. A cold front will push through Colorado Monday night into Tuesday. This will bring a surge of cold air and snow showers to the state for the day on Tuesday.

Early Monday, sunshine in Denver will lead to afternoon clouds before a quick dose of snow on Tuesday morning in the Denver weather forecast.

Scattered snow showers will return to Colorado’s mountains on Monday and the storm is forecast to move into the Denver area on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. This wave of snow will be short and not much is expected to stick, NWS forecasters said in a Hazardous Weather Outlook.

Sunday night will stay mainly clear and seasonally cool, ahead of a slight warming trend on Monday. But FOX31 Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Liz McGiffin is also eyeing a chance for snow on Tuesday.
