In typical Colorado fashion, a near record high of 55 on Friday gave way to snow in Western Colorado. National Weather Service forecaster Dennis Phillips said it was the warmest Grand Junction has been in weeks but a weekend storm will bring moisture to the region. The highest concentration of snow is expected in higher elevations above 10,000 feet, with the San Juan Mountains expected to be hit the hardest. The major winter storm started in California this week, transitioning through the Intermountain West and heading to the Midwest today. By Sunday and early next week, it will have made its way to the northeast, according to the National Weather Service.
