Heavy mountain snow that has been falling throughout the weekend will gradually decrease by Monday evening, though snow chances remain in the high country every day of the work week.
The snow will start decreasing Monday starting in the south and spreading to the north. As the northern snow subsides, stray showers could move onto the plains, but dry low levels of humidity should limit any potential snowfall overall, according to forecasters at the National Weather Service in Boulder.

The Winter Storm Warning over the mountains will expire at 9 a.m. Monday. Some high wind gusts could still cause some blowing snow and hazardous travel conditions.
U.S. 6 over Loveland Pass has been closed since Sunday morning, and Interstate 70 has closed sporadically over the weekend.
After the snow ends Monday night, new chances for snowfall in the mountains continue every day of the work week, with the biggest chance Thursday evening into Friday.
Thursday and Friday are also when Denver will have its next snow chances.
Highs during the beginning of the week will be mild in the mid-50s, but Wednesday will see a chance of rain, followed by a slight chance of snow Thursday.
Snow is likely Friday as a cold front arrives and drops the temperature to a 40-degree high.
