DENVER (KDVR) — The first high country snow is possible Monday night above 11,000 feet in the Elk Mountains and San Juan range.
While snow in the High Country can fly during any month of the year here in Colorado, the first accumulating snow in early September is considered pretty normal.
Any snow Monday night likely will not stick at lower elevations. However, once you approach elevations above 12,000 feet, a coating is possible, with up to an inch or two above 13,000 feet.
