The storm that has been bringing
heavy, travel-snarling snow to parts of Colorado,
southern Wyoming and
northern New Mexico this weekend will head eastward tonight into Monday. As
it does so, conditions will worsen for people from the Texas panhandle to western and central Kansas.
While snow will start winding up across
Denver and other cities
along Colorado's
Interstate 25 corridor tonight, some roads will remain
snow-covered and dangerous through Monday.

According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, portions of
I-25,
I-70 and
I-76
were still snow-packed and
icy Sunday. Snow totals had already reached 7
inches or more in
Denver and
Boulder by early Sunday morning.
People commuting to cities like
Denver and
Boulder may want to allow extra time to get to work or school
Monday morning, as some roads could still be
slippery.
While the snow clears up along the
I-25 corridor in Colorado tonight, it will
continue falling heavily across parts of
southeastern Colorado and
spreading along
I-70 through
western Kansas. An additional 1 to 3 inches falling in these areas through
Monday will bring storm totals up to 3 to 6 inches.
Snow-packed,
slippery roads will therefore be a problem for people in
places like Lamar, Colo., and Garden City and
Dodge City,
Kan. School delays and cancellations could result.
Dangerous travel conditions will also spread into areas farther south and east across the
northern Texas panhandle,
northwestern Oklahoma and central Kansas as rain changes over to snow
tonight.
Snow will continue falling throughout the day Monday, accumulating 1 to 3 inches. In central and
northern Kansas, snow totals will reach 3 to 6 inches by the end of the day
Monday.
People who must travel along
I-70 and I-135 through Kansas Monday should be
prepared for
slippery spots and use caution. Side roads will be
particularly dangerous.
