A Pinpoint Weather Alert Day has been issued for Sunday evening due to snow and rain in the forecast for the Foothills and Palmer Divide.

The Pinpoint Weather team is forecasting rain showers to develop early on Sunday. There could even be some thunderstorms on the eastern plains during the afternoon which could produce hail.

A cold front arrives later on Sunday and will change from rain to snow. Wind will pick up around this time.

Snow will be heaviest in the evening hours and snow will taper after a few hours ending by 1 or 2 a.m. Monday.

The weather will turn windy with gusts out of the north up to 30 mph. There could be some slick areas on roads especially west of Denver into the Foothills and south of the city across the Palmer Divide.

There could be an isolated shower drifting off the mountains on Tuesday. Otherwise, the area will be drying out and warming back into the mild 60s by midweek. The next chance for rain showers looks to arrive by the end of next week.
