  Medicine Bow Range and The Mountains of Summit County, the

The snowfall will lighten as Tuesday moves into Wednesday, but Wednesday night into Thursday we should see some more snow, with totals up to 6″ along the Continental Divide, bring 5-day totals for many areas well above a foot.

These
conditions will support to continue the winter weather advisory
for the mountains through this evening. Based on above, additional
snowfall of 2-7 inches looks reasonable with higher amounts on
higher west facing slopes.

Temperatures will remain around 30ºF until Thursday evening when they’ll drop to the mid-teens.

Winners will be Steamboat with over a foot, and Loveland and A-Basin both into double figures.
