DENVER — The next storm system is moving north out of New Mexico and will cross Colorado overnight into early Monday morning. It is then expected to head northeast into Nebraska. Rain will become more widespread across the Front Range, the I-25 corridor, and the northeast plains, especially along and north of I-70. Some of that rain could mix with or change to wet snow on the Cheyenne Ridge and in the western Nebraska Panhandle.
Storm Moves North Out of New Mexico
The center of the storm is near Albuquerque and the Four Corners region. It is expected to move north through Colorado late Sunday into Monday morning. From there, it will track northeast toward Fort Morgan, Sidney, and Alliance, Nebraska.
As the storm moves north, it is expected to wind up and strengthen. That will help spread rain across a wider area. Scattered showers, a few thunderstorms, and mountain snow showers are already increasing ahead of it.
Showers and Storms Already Developing
Radar shows scattered showers and thunderstorms across New Mexico, southern Colorado, and the Texas Panhandle. Heavier storms are showing up near Clovis, Amarillo, and Liberal, Kansas. Showers are also building near Pueblo, Trinidad, and Lamar.
Rain and mountain snow showers are spreading across western Colorado near Glenwood Springs, Steamboat Springs, and Delta. Some snow is falling in the higher terrain of the San Juan Mountains. More showers are developing near Cortez and Moab.
Widespread Rain Along the Front Range
Overnight into Monday morning, rain is expected to become more widespread along the Front Range. Denver, Fort Collins, and Greeley are in line for steady rain. The heaviest totals look most likely along and north of I-70…
