A spring storm is expected to move into the region Tuesday evening, bringing a shot of moisture to Montezuma and La Plata and counties.<\/p>\n

Forecasters are calling for only a tenth of an inch of rain before it moves out of the area Wednesday, said Matthew Aleksa, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Grand Junction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s moving through really quick,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Areas above 8,500 feet could see snow, he said. Silverton is expected to receive less than an inch of snow, and Hesperus could receive less than a half-inch of snow, according to NWS.<\/p>\n

Snow is also expected fall above the 416 Fire burn scar, which should prevent flooding, Aleksa said.<\/p>\n

The bulk of the storm is expected to come from the south, through Arizona and New Mexico, he said. As a result, temperatures are expected to be fairly warm, with highs around 60 degrees Wednesday in Durango, according to NWS.<\/p>\n

Even warmer temperatures are expected to follow the storm, with a high of 70 degrees Friday in Durango and Cortez.<\/p>\n
