Colorado Faces Heavy Rain, Snowstorm This Week

After a sunny weekend with temperatures in the 70s, Colorado is bracing for a strong spring storm system beginning Monday, bringing widespread rain to the plains and significant snowfall to higher elevations. Forecasters have issued weather advisories, noting that the heaviest precipitation is expected on Tuesday, with up to 1-2 inches of rain possible along the Front Range and potential flooding in some areas. While severe thunderstorms are unlikely, some storms may occur, especially in the southern plains. Travel in the mountains could be impacted by moderate to heavy snowfall through Wednesday. After the midweek storm, drier and warmer conditions are expected to return by the weekend.
