Disruptive snow will spread from the central Rockies to a portion of the Plains as a new storm takes shape spanning Sunday to Monday.

The latest round of wintry weather follows a storm that struck portions of South Dakota’s Interstate-90 corridor with up to a foot of snow on Friday.

Rapid City was buried with around 10 inches of snow, marking the highest single-day snowfall total so far this year.

The latest snowstorm will return snow to the northern Plains, as well as whiten areas farther south that were missed by Friday’s storm, including downtown Denver.

“Snowstorms tend to make a more common appearance to the Denver area during late winter and early spring,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Brett Rathbun said.

“Denver averages about 11 inches of snow in the month of March, the most of any other month,” he added.

While this will not be a significant snowstorm for Denver, enough snow to make roads and sidewalks slick and lead to some travel delays is expected.

After laying a swath of snowfall through Utah’s Wasatch Range and the mountains of northern Arizona, including in Flagstaff, snow will reach the Colorado Rockies and Front Range by Sunday night.
