URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Denver CO
831 PM MST Thu Nov 7 2024

...PROLONGED WINTER STORM CONTINUES, WITH HISTORIC SNOWFALL IN 
EASTERN ELBERT AND LINCOLN COUNTIES...

.A slow moving winter storm continues to impact the region with 
multiple rounds of snow. Generally light snow bands will affect the 
area overnight, but then expect the next wave of heavy snow to 
impact more of the region Friday and Friday night, and then slowly 
diminish Saturday morning as the storm exits the region.  Heavy snow 
accumulations have already paralyzed traffic in east central 
Colorado including much of the I-70 Corridor around Limon and nearby 
points surrounding that.  Significant snow accumulations have 
occurred across the Palmer Divide and southern Foothills.

Additional heavy snow will spread westward across the plains and 
into the foothills Friday morning, and then continue through Friday 
night. From this point forward, the heaviest additional snowfall 
will occur from Denver metro area eastward across the plains of east 
central Colorado.  This, on top of snow that has already 
accumulated, will result in a historic snowfall around Elbert, 
Lincoln, and southern Washington Counties where storm total amounts 
in some of those locations will be near three feet!  The Denver 
metro area will likely see another 7 to 14 inches with the heaviest 
amounts in southern half of town. Meanwhile, much lighter snow 
accumulations are likely farther north including Fort Collins, 
Greeley, and other plains locations north of I-76.

Travel will be impossible east and southeast of Denver. Do not 
travel or expect to travel in those locations through at least 
Saturday as heavy snow impacts will last long past this storm. If 
you live in rural areas of eastern Douglas, Elbert, Lincoln, or 
southern Washington County be prepared to be stranded for several 
days.
