Channel 5 WeatherSpotty Snow in the Forecast Clouds and moisture will continue to push into the region today, which means that the mountains could continue to see some more much needed snow tonight. The afternoon should yield a very patchy sky, with patches of sunshine poking through the clouds. The clouds won't completely clear out but they should thin out as the afternoon goes along. Late this evening the northern mountains will start to see the next round of precipitation and a Winter Storm Warning has been issued for the eastern corners of Garfield and Rio Blanco counties as well as Routt County including Steamboat Springs, and the very extreme western portions of Grand and Jackson Counties. Up to a foot of new snow could be seen in these areas and will be where the majority of the snow will fall. Flurries will travel as far southward as Montrose, however, it will be very light and isolated the further south you go. In the meantime temperatures will be in the lower 50s today despite some of the cloud cover and even this morning got off to a warmer start then we are used to seeing this time of year. The showers will be tapering off tomorrow and we will get a brief break on Friday and Saturday. The key word, however, is brief and Saturday will see increasing clouds preparing for the next system to push through the mountains on Sunday.
