A winter storm is brewing and ready to head toward Colorado's high country starting on Friday night.

Light to moderate snow will fill in for the northern and central mountain starting Friday morning. Northwestern mountains could pick up 4 to 8 inches, but other areas will see minor accumulations. The snow Friday tapers a bit in the early evening before ramping up in the overnight hours into Saturday morning.

This storm will mainly impact the northwestern and central mountain areas . We will see a fast deterioration of road conditions, making for very tough travel along many mountain areas on Saturday and Sunday. Gusts up to 55 mph are possible, creating extremely low visibility as well.
