GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) - The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for Colorado's Western Slope.

Up to a foot of blowing snow is expected Wednesday and Thursday in the north central mountains.

Winds gusting to 70 miles per hour may cause whiteout conditions over the higher mountain passes overnight. High winds are also predicted for the Front Range.
