As light snow and strong wind continue in the mountains, so do slick roads and low visibility, creating dangerous driving conditions for travelers, according to the National Weather Service.

As of Monday morning, Loveland Pass remained closed on U.S. Highway 6 for weather-related safety concerns, and U.S. Highway 34 remained closed between Sun Valley and Trail Ridge roads.

The rest of Sunday’s closures had reopened Monday morning, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation, not including seasonal road closures that will remain in effect until May.

The remaining snow in the mountains should wind down throughout the day, but winds of up to 50 mph are expected to remain, NWS forecasters said.

Snow accumulation of one to two inches is likely in the mountains, with less expected in the valleys and foothills, according to a Hazardous Weather Outlook from the NWS.

Down in the lower foothills, some areas could see winds of up to 80 mph Monday, the NWS said. The strongest winds are expected to diminish by mid-morning, but gusts of 50 mph winds are still expected through the night, NWS forecasters said.

In Denver, wind speeds will only reach 22 mph and snow is done for several days.

After yesterday’s cold, snowy weather, the city will see a mostly sunny day, with a high of 58 degrees, NWS forecasters said. Nighttime temperatures will dip back below freezing, hitting 29 degrees, before jumping back up to nearly 60 degrees during the day Tuesday.

Drier, warmer and less windy weather is expected throughout the state until Thursday, NWS meteorologists said. The next snow will hit the mountains late Thursday night into Friday and will stay through Saturday night, with the largest chance for snow on the plains on Friday.

Winter driving conditions will return Friday, with significant snow accumulation in the mountains, and temperatures will be below seasonal norms throughout the weekend, NWS forecasters said.
