URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Denver CO
506 AM MST Mon Nov 25 2019

...STRONG WINTER STORM APPROACHING NORTHERN COLORADO...

.A winter storm will strengthen as it moves over the mountains
and across northeastern Colorado and neighboring states tonight 
into Tuesday. A large area of heavy snow is likely from the 
northern Colorado and southern Wyoming mountains eastward into 
western Nebraska and northwest Kansas. The heavy snow will begin 
in the northern mountains of Colorado this afternoon and spread 
southeast to the Fort Collins and Denver area during the evening, 
and then across the rest of northeast Colorado overnight. The snow
will end from west to east during the day Tuesday. The heaviest 
snow is expected tonight in areas north and northwest of Denver, 
and Tuesday morning from Denver eastward across the plains and in
the foothills west and southwest of Denver.

This storm will cause significant travel difficulties due to the 
amount of snowfall. A widespread area with a foot or more of snow 
is expected from the Denver metro area and highway 36 on the
plains northward into Wyoming and the Nebraska panhandle. 
Conditions will deteriorate Monday evening from Denver northward
and overnight on the eastern plains. The worst conditions will be
Tuesday morning, when very heavy snow is likely around Denver and
winds will be increasing on the plains. Winds will increase on
Tuesday, with gusts to 30 mph near the mountains and 40 mph on the
plains. There will be some drifting of snow in rural areas, and
near blizzard conditions are possible east of Fort Morgan and
Deer Trail during the day Tuesday. Conditions will improve from
west to east Tuesday afternoon as the snow moves eastward and 
winds decrease late in the day.

People planning travel in northeastern Colorado tonight or 
Tuesday should consider traveling today or waiting until the storm
passes. Travel may become impossible across the I-25 urban 
corridor and across the plains from I-70 northward by Tuesday 
morning, including unplowed city streets with a foot of new snow
on them. You should have what you need for a day at home on 
Tuesday.
