Additional snowfall of 6 to 12 inches is expected within the higher terrain of Colorado into northern New Mexico through Saturday.

Embedded bands of heavy snow with rates exceeding 1"/hr are expected at times across Kansas during the day on Saturday which when combined with gusty winds will cause hazardous travel due to snow covered/slippery roads and reduced visibility.
