DENVER — The cold and unsettled weather pattern over Colorado will remain Monday, through the week and into next weekend.

Because the next storm system sits further to the south, only light snow is expected on Monday across the Denver area, mountains, foothills and plains.

Accumulations will stay light with up to two inches of snow in the foothills and less than an inch elsewhere.

The cold air mass over our Colorado will remain through Thursday with temperatures staying well below normal and the occasional chance for snow.

The high temperature in Denver on Friday will finally rise above 40 degrees, but another arctic cold front arrives Saturday bringing more chances for snow and much colder temperatures.

Colorado chain and traction laws

The CDOT urged travelers to be aware of chain and traction law codes before heading out on the roadway:

  • Code 18/Commercial Chain Law: Commercial vehicles and trucks must have chains. Vehicles without chains can often lose traction, causing traffic delays and sometimes road closures. For the safety of the traveling public, it's critical to use chains to comply with Colorado's chain law.
  • Code 15/Passenger Traction Law: All passenger vehicles must have appropriate all-weather tires with 3/16-inch depth. Vehicles must have one of the following: winter tires, tires with mud/snow (M+S) designation, chains or alternative traction devices such as an autosock. 4WD and AWD vehicles must have winter tires or all-weather tires.
  • Code 16/Passenger Chain Law: All passenger vehicles need chains, except for 4WD and AWD vehicles with all-weather tires with 3/16-inch tread depth.
