Aspen and Pitkin County have been added to the weather advisory as snow is expected on and off into Monday evening, the National Weather Service said in an update Saturday.<\/p>\n

The winter weather advisory for the northern and central Colorado mountains runs until 8 p.m. Monday, and travel is expected to be difficult at times over mountain passes, including Vail Pass and the Interstate 70 corridor.<\/p>\n

\u201cSnow expected with lulls from time to time. Total snow accumulations of 6 to 12 inches with locally higher amounts. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph,\u201d says the advisory, which includes the Elk Mountains. \u201cTravel will be difficult to impossible with blowing snow significantly reducing visibility at times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flights have been delayed Saturday getting into and leaving the Aspen Airport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The forecasted highs for Aspen are not expected to get above 30 degrees on Sunday and Monday, with overnight lows also in the teens.<\/p>\n

As well, the flood advisory issued Friday for the Roaring Fork River from Snowmass Canyon through El Jebel is in effect until Sunday afternoon. Officials are concerned that ice jams could form and break over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocal temperatures and conditions will increase the potential for ice jam releases through tomorrow,\u201d said the Saturday update to flood advisory.<\/p>\n

The forecast for Sunday through the week calls for \u201ccooler and wetter than normal conditions \u2026 as a series of passing storms keeps the weather unsettled into the middle of next week.\u201d<\/p>\n
