The mountains will get hit hard with snow, as our snow levels rise to about 1,500 feet. Not only will you hit ice and compact snow in the foothills, but 7-10 inches in the passes Monday and more Monday night. Around 15-30 inches of snow will fall in the mountains.

Tuesday we will see scattered showers with overnight lows in the upper-30s. We might squeeze out one dry day on Wednesday before we turn to rain and stay wet through the weekend, in the upper-40s and lower-50s.
