Colorado Springs Pueblo, CO, October 14, 2026 —
Winter weather advisories are in effect for Colorado’s central and southwest mountains, where snow is expected this week. The forecast calls for varying accumulations across mountain areas, with the heaviest snowfall predicted for Wednesday evening.
High-elevation areas may receive around 4 inches, though totals differ by location. The forecast lists:
- Pikes Peak: less than 4 inches
- Front Range near Estes Park: up to 12 inches
- San Juan Mountains: around 8 inches
- Sangre de Cristo Mountains: around 4 inches
- West of Leadville: 1 to 6 inches
- Near Loveland Pass: 7 to 14 inches
Rain is anticipated across the Eastern Plains, in contrast with the snow forecast for the mountain regions. The outlook provided does not give a rainfall amount for the plains or specify how much snow is expected in each location on Wednesday evening.
The forecast also does not provide the exact start and end times for the advisories. It identifies the central and southwest mountains as the areas where advisories are in effect, but does not list specific communities or counties covered. Snow totals are presented as estimates and vary considerably among the named locations, from less than 4 inches at Pikes Peak to as much as 14 inches near Loveland Pass.
