SUMMARY...A COLD CORE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVER UTAH TODAY

AND THIS LOW WILL BRING COLDER TEMPERATURES...MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS

AND LOWER ELEVATION SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO SOUTHERN COLORADO

AND NORTHERN NEW MEXICO FROM TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. LOOK

FOR A RETURN TO MORE TRANQUIL WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER THE WEKEND.



SNOWMELT RUNOFF FROM THE MOUNTAINS WILL SLOW DUE TO COLDER

TEMPERATURES BUT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BRING WELCOME

MOISTURE OVER THE NEXT 48 TO 72 HOURS.
