Looks like snow In Colorado

After more than 24 inches of snow landed in parts of Colorado overnight, more big snow is on the way to Colorado.

While the deepest totals of the Tuesday night storm landed in the area of Aspen and Salida, parts of the Front Range also got snow in the range of eight to 12 inches, which impacted traffic along I-25 and I-70 east of Denver. With another wave of snow that's set to stretch from Wednesday through Friday morning, the central mountains and Western Slope should be mostly missed, but big totals could stack up along the I-25 corridor, in the Eastern Plains, and in southern Colorado.

It's important to note that the National Weather Service produces three maps related to how much snow might fall when there's an incoming storm – an 'expected snowfall' map (80% chance), a 'high-end snowfall' map (10% chance), and a 'low-end snowfall' map (10% chance).

Let's start with the most likely scenario for snowfall moving into the state from Wednesday to Friday morning – the 'expected snowfall' map.

In this National Weather Service map, snowfall favors southern Colorado near Walsenburg and Trinidad, bringing 12 to 18 inches and 18 to 24 inches to each town, respectively. That said, another round of about eight to 18 inches of snow is expected for the portion of I-25 between Denver and Colorado Springs, as well as the portion of I-70 that's east of Denver – in other words, the same two high-traffic areas that saw big totals between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning are likely to get hit again.: National Weather Service.

The lower probability 'high-end' snowfall forecast, however, is where things to could really wild.

This ramps up potential snowfall numbers to up to 24 inches of snow in those two aforementioned high-traffic areas, also raising the snowfall prediction to snow in the 48 to 60-inch range in a small area southeast of Trinidad (with 29 inches possible in Trinidad, itself).

In this high-end scenario, nearly the entire southern third of the state gets big totals, too, with peaks in these areas having potential for up to 36 inches of snow.

If the 'low-end' snowfall scenario comes to fruition (10 percent chance), Trinidad still gets 14 inches, with parts of I-25 between Pueblo and the state's southern border getting snow in the range of six to 24 inches. If this low-end snowfall scenario occurs, however, issues along I-25 between Colorado Springs and Denver, as well as along I-70 east of Denver should be less .

Either way, it looks like more big snow is set to hit heavily-populated parts of Colorado.
