As the clouds break up they reveal the snow line that creeps down Missionary Ridge on Wednesday morning.
A storm moving into Southwest Colorado today should produce only rain at lower elevations, meaning Durango.
“It’s snowing pretty good over Coal Bank and Molas passes,” Dennis Phillips, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service said. “But it should stay rain down your way.”
Overnight temperatures at lower elevations stayed above freezing, so roads didn’t ice up as feared Tuesday, Phillips said.
Capt. Adrian Driscoll of the Colorado State Patrol said his troopers haven’t had weather-related problems on state highways.
“We’re holding our own on Wolf Creek Pass,” Driscoll said. “Molas and Coal Bank passes are OK.”
