A windy Black Friday – 11/23/18
TODAY: As you venture out for your Black Friday shopping, be sure to grab a jacket. Highs will be in the 40s and 50s today, but strong winds gusting between 30 and 40+ mph will make it feel cooler at times. A wind alert level 1 is out for the afternoon because of those windy conditions. Though it will be windy, skies will be mostly sunny today.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear and not as breezy tonight. Lows will be in the 20s over the mountains with 30s in the lower terrain areas.
EXTENDED: We start Saturday out with sunshine and will see clouds increase through the morning. This should allow us to warm into the 50s once more tomorrow. Rain and snow is still in the forecast, but it doesn’t look to arrive until after 2 or 3PM along and east of I-25. Mountain cities will likely see some snow showers earlier in the afternoon. Most places will be seeing both rain and snow off and on before transitioning to light snow after sunset. Things still look like they will wrap up after midnight, leaving the area with 1″ or less accumulation (if that). Locations near Monument might see up to 2″, if lucky. If you aren’t seeing rain or snow on Saturday, you’ll be feeling the wind. A wind alert level 1 is out for that day too due to wind gusts between 35-45 mph. Places over the plains will be seeing gusts to 50 mph. Sunshine follows Sunday into next week.
