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.

The snow could create dangerous winter driving conditions overnight Sunday, especially on mountain passes, forecasters said in a Hazardous Weather Outlook.

Winds of up to 10 mph in the metro area will make 36-degree temperature highs feel below-freezing, according to NWS forecasters.
