DILLON \u2014 After weeks of generally warm, sunny weather, Summit County is getting hit with a bit of April snow. National Weather Service meteorologist Lisa Kriederman said the bulk of the week\u2019s snow will begin Wednesday afternoon. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou may see a little rain mixed with snow (Wednesday) afternoon at the lower elevations, but that should quickly turn to snow,\u201d Kriederman said.<\/p>\n

Kriederman said the snow will continue through Thursday before diminishing Friday. Snow totals are forecast to be between 4-6 inches in the valleys and up to 14 inches at higher elevations. Kriederman said the storm will start to taper off Thursday night, though there still could be some accumulating snow overnight. <\/p>\n

The National Weather Service put out a winter storm warning<\/a> from Thursday morning through Thursday night for the mountains of Summit County, the Mosquito Range and the Indian Peaks. Temperatures in Frisco on Thursday show a high of 36 degrees and a low of 18 on Thursday night. Kriederman said temperatures are expected to warm on Friday into the weekend.<\/p>\n
