Scattered Rain & Snow Showers Through Monday

By Chris Spears

DENVER (CBS4) - Some much needed moisture fell across Colorado's high country this weekend with many of our ski resorts exceeding a foot and a half of snow.

In fact several hit the two foot mark!

A strong jet stream will remain in our area both today and tomorrow so scattered snow showers will be an ongoing threat in the mountains with maybe a few rain and snow showers in Denver and on the plains later today and early Monday.

It also means some occasional bouts with strong and gusty wind.

By Tuesday a ridge of high pressure will take over Colorado and it will bring much warmer weather and plenty of sunshine.
