Drivers on Colorado’s Interstate 70 mountain corridor should expect snow and slush to make travel difficult from Sunday night, Nov. 24, through Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 28.

Record-breaking numbers of drivers are expected to travel for Thanksgiving this November — but the National Weather Service issued a warning that travel in Colorado may be “difficult to impossible” at times due significant snow from Sunday night through Wednesday night.

On Sunday night, snow is expected to fall across higher terrain above about 9,000 and could reach a total of between 4 to 8 inches in places, according to the winter storm watch issued by the National Weather Service. 

The storm watch is in effect for Summit, Grand and Park counties including the Breckenridge and Winter Park areas, Rabbit Ears Pass, Berthoud Pass and the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnels.

Snow is expected to continue through Thanksgiving, according to the winter storm watch. The weather alert states, “Hazardous winter driving conditions are expected and holiday travel will be impacted.”
