The same storm system that brought the cooler, cloudier, and wetter changes to the area this weekend will be clearing today but not before it cranks up the wind and drops a bit of rainfall.

Wind gusts may top 50mph with this energy as it scoots overhead. The same energy that has dropped up to 11 inches of snow on parts of the high country.

This is Winter Park this morning:

The winter weather advisory calling for slick travel will expire midday.

No advisories in place for the metro area, just some wind and a few thundershowers (perhaps some hail in the strongest cells). As far as rainfall chances, they are mostly until the early afternoon.

Here's a series of images showing the progression of the showers today.

As the sky clears, it does remain a chilly day but warmer and drier days are ahead of us. Some details are below...70s return quickly!

The next snow/rain maker may arrive just before Halloween...how fitting. Don't miss out on those updates and subscribe today, we email you when we publish something new.
