Jagmohan Garg speaks about slow moving storm to impact travel
A slow moving storm is making its way through the state, and the Colorado Department of Transportation is warning motorists that travel will be impacted state wide.
Officials say winter storm conditions have already begun, which caused a semi-truck to roll over along I-70 in the mountains Tuesday night causing all lanes to be closed.
CDOT officials are warning that conditions in the mountains could lead to more accidents.
The national weather service is predicting heavy snowfall for the northern and southwestern mountains, with the Grand Mesa expected to receive upwards of 2 feet of snow.
The Craig and Moffat County areas have already seen upwards of 20 inches of new snowfall.
The I-70 corridor and Vail Pass are forecasted to receive four to seven inches of new snow through Thursday, and a lingering cold front will keep highways snow packed and icy.
CDOT officials are warning motorists to be prepared over the next few days, especially if you're traveling through the mountains.
