DENVER — We're not done yet! Another round of heavy snow hits the High Country Wednesday as fierce winds ramp up fire danger along the Eastern Plains.
Look for mostly clear skies but gusty winds up to 30 mph overnight around the Denver metro. Temperatures will dip into the upper 20s to low 30s early Wednesday morning.
We'll have partly sunny skies early around the Front Range with highs in the mid-50s along with blustery winds. Gusts won't be quite as strong as Tuesday, but still howling up to 35 mph.
A Red Flag Warning will be in effect from 10am to 7pm for the Eastern Plains as the winds will be a bit stronger up to 50-60 mph along with exceptionally low humidity values. Fire danger will still be a major concern mid-week as fuels are absolutely parched.
Meanwhile another blast of snow will slam Colorado's High Country Wednesday. Winter weather warnings and advisories are still in effect for the mountains through early Thursday morning. Most areas will see between one and two feet of new snow throughout this period with more snow on the way Friday.
A cold front will swing through the state Wednesday evening, bringing the possibility of a few showers to the Denver metro area and NE plains. It won't be much but you could see a bit of a rain/snow mix.
With this front, temperatures will cool significantly Thursday and Friday. Look for highs in the mid 30s to low 40s, as these will be the first below-average days this February.
Seasonal and sunny conditions are back for the weekend along the Front Range with another warming trend possible heading into early next week.
