Storm has passed in Denver but it’s headed East. Looks like it’s rain now between Dallas and Chicago.
Going to be in the 60’s for the weekend and roads are clear over the 70. The inch or so we got in Denver will melt off today. Nothing on the horizon until a week from Sunday. However you need to keep your eye on the weather as forecasts in Colorado have a 4 hour life. Things can change quickly, but usually major changes are predicable, but maybe not so good on how much.
There will be snow on the ground at elevation, but not a lot. Zion is around 3000ft so I suspect there won’t be any at the valley bottom. You need to check with the rangers. Arches is unlikely to have any snow.
This is the time of year where you need to be flexible and be prepared to hunker down for a day or two if the weather turns on you.
