Weather Alert: ELEVATED WINDS NEXT FEW DAYS YIELDING HIGH FIRE DANGER

TONIGHT: Winds taper off after 10pm and overnight lows remain chilly in the 20's and 30's

MONDAY: The day begins with a mix of sun and clouds and possibly spotty, brief sprinkles and/or flurries over our local mountain communities late, but most of the snow should remain over the Continental Divide. Breezy to windy at times with high temperatures reaching the 60s and 70s for the plains, 40s and 50s for the mountains, and 50s to lower 60s for the high mountain valleys.

EXTENDED: More wind on Tuesday as another cold front approaches the area. While the morning looks warm, it's likely that significantly colder air will move over the area sometime during the day. When the cold front arrives, it is possible that at least scattered rain and/or snow showers will develop along and behind it late Tuesday into early Wednesday. Wednesday looks breezy and colder with enough instability for isolated snow showers over and near the mountains, mainly over the northern parts of our coverage area. We’ll be on the boundary of the warmer and colder air on Thursday and Friday, and it’s hard to know right now which way the temperature will go, but it’s likely to be breezy/windy again
