A sequel to the storm that pummeled Southwest Colorado on Sunday and early Monday is shaping up for today.

“We’re still analyzing it,” Jim Daniels, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Grand Junction, said Monday afternoon. “It looks like it will affect elevations at 6,000 and above.”

Durango sits at 6,512 feet.

A winter-storm advisory that could bring 5 to 10 inches of snow is in effect from Cortez to Pagosa Springs for 24 hours starting at 6 a.m. today, Daniels said.

The chance of snow tapers off Wednesday, Daniels said.

“There is still some transition in weather patterns,” Daniels said.

Daniels said 18 inches of snow fell on Coal Bank Pass and 12 inches on Molas Pass during the recent storm. Ten inches were recorded southwest of Durango.

As of 8 a.m. Monday, the Rafter J subdivision had received 9 inches in the previous 24 hours, Maureen Keilty said. Pam Snyder found 4 inches in her snow gauge in Hesperus. Briggen Wrinkle measured 4.5 inches in Durango.

The Colorado Department of Transportation closed Coal Bank, Molas and Red Mountain passes on U.S. Highway 550 intermittently starting Monday morning for avalanche work, agency spokeswoman Nancy Shanks said.

Shanks said the work was done by noon, but crews may be back on the three passes today.

Despite the passes being open, the highway may be slick so caution is advised, Shanks said.

“No one has any business being up there without good snow tires,” Shanks said.

Dicey road conditions canceled the “On the Road Show” La Plata County commissioners had scheduled Monday at Bayfield Town Hall. The meeting will be rescheduled.

The National Weather Service forecasts low temperatures in the 20s and low teens for the next few days.

Highs will be around 40 degrees through Friday.
