0315L-SATURDAY OUTLOOK FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-11/25/23

*TODAY is transition day. Rain is expected in the area from later this morning through this evening when colder air filters in and we transition to possibly some freezing rain and then to snow overnight. Accumulations could reach 1/10th of an inch of ice and maybe an inch or two of snow. There are still a few variables out there so just pay close attention to temps, wind, and especially road conditions. Bridges and overpasses will be the main threats for freezing road conditions.
