Moisture will increase across the area behind this front, with scattered to numerous rain and snow showers developing across eastern Colorado. Gusty winds could bring white out conditions to some locations, making travel hazardous especially across the mountains and northern El Paso county late Wednesday.

From the National Weather Service Grand Junction office:

A wintry storm system will continue to sweep slowly eastward across the region today…lingering into the evening hours. Cold air associated with this system had brought snow to the lowest valleys early this morning and will continue to generate snow over much of the region through the day. A number of winter weather highlights are in place across eastern Utah and western Colorado today and this evening. Details are available at weather.gov/gjt. Temperatures will sink to near record values across the region tonight with a hard freeze expected in the lower valleys threatening tender vegetation and fruit trees. Temperatures will moderate going into the weekend, however a pair of weaker storms will impact the area Friday night through Saturday night and again Sunday night through Tuesday.
