The central mountains, Fremont and Teller counties, the Wet Mountain Valley and the I-25 corridor will pick up 2 to 6 inches with locally higher amounts possible under heavier snow bands this morning.

The southeast plains east of the I-25 corridor counties will see a trace to near 3 inches with the heaviest amounts falling along the northern slopes of the Raton Mesa across Las Animas county.
