Active weather will return to the mountain regions late Tuesday as another weather maker is expected to move in. This next storm will bring valley rain and mountain snow showers. Snow levels are expected to fluctuate between 5,000-7,000 feet through Wednesday with up to a foot of snow possible above 7,000 feet. Mountain valleys will see rain and snow Tuesday evening through Wednesday evening, accumulations in the mountains valleys will be between 1-4 inches.

Unsettled weather will continue Thursday with additional valley rain and mountain snow showers. Drier weather is expected to move in starting Friday and should continue into the weekend. Temperatures are expected to drop to near average highs beginning Thursday and remain near there throughout the weekend.
