DENVER — Hazardous driving conditions are expected Wednesday night along the Interstate 40 and Interstate 70 mountain corridors, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

Areas along I-70 beginning at Idaho Springs until right after Vail are under a winter weather advisory until Thursday. 

NWS said to expect slick, slow and hazardous traffic conditions along snow-covered roads. 

Whiteout conditions are going to be made worst by strong gusty winds leading to poor visibility and difficult driving conditions.
