Beyond Friday, Colorado's Snow Forecast Looks Grim

By Chris Spears

DENVER (CBS4) - A quick moving storm system promises some much needed fresh snow to Colorado's high country later this week.

Mountain snow is expected to begin sometime Thursday and last into the day on Friday.

Northwest-facing slopes along and west of the Continental Divide could pick up several inches of snow.

But beyond that the outlook for cold and snow doesn't look too good for Colorado, at least for the next two weeks.

The latest long-range forecast from NOAA's Climate Prediction Center calls for warm and dry conditions to be the average through the end of the month.
