Scattered snow showers will dust Colorado’s mountains Sunday and Monday as strong wind gusts blow across the Eastern Plains, according to the National Weather Service. Less than an inch of snow accumulation is forecast for most of the mountains, according to Sunday morning snow forecasts. A few isolated peaks — including the Park Range’s Mount Zirkel and Mount Farwell, the San Juan Mountain’s Expectation Mountain and the Sangre de Cristo Mountain’s Cucharas Pass — could see up to 2 inches of snow, NWS forecasters said. The snow could create dangerous winter driving conditions overnight Sunday, especially on mountain passes, forecasters said in a Hazardous Weather Outlook. Denver and the Eastern Plains won’t see snow on Sunday but it will be windy, forecasters said. Winds of up to 10 mph in the metro area will make 36-degree temperature highs feel below-freezing, according to NWS forecasters.
