DENVER- Tonight, strong winds will continue across the Boulder foothills and areas above timberline, with gusts reaching 70-100 mph. These gusts may spill into the lower elevations, particularly along the Highway 93 corridor.

Expect high winds to persist through Monday morning, with gusts of 55-58 mph in many areas. We have a High Wind Warning in effect until Monday morning. Despite this, temperatures in the foothills and urban corridor will remain unusually mild, with lows above freezing, reaching into the 40s.

Warmer winds blowing through the Front Range and that will help our temperatures reach the upper 60s and low 70s. However, high cloud cover and mixing challenges could keep temperatures lower. T
Across the lower elevations, there’s a significant range in potential temperatures for Monday. Expect a dry and breezy day for most areas, with some spots along the urban corridor potentially facing elevated fire weather conditions in the afternoon.

Looking ahead to Tuesday, there will be southwestern flow in the atmosphere, with high pressure over the region. While there may be a few snowflakes in the mountains, little to no accumulation is expected. A cold front will move into the northern plains Monday night, bringing cooler temperatures and the possibility of low clouds or fog, particularly in Lincoln County and the South Platte River Valley. This could keep temperatures cooler in areas like Greeley and Akron.

By midweek, on Wednesday, a weather system will bring snow showers to the mountains, particularly along the western slopes, but snowfall will be light. Strong westerly winds will pick up across much of the region, with gusts reaching up to 60 mph in the mountains and 40 mph on the plains. On Thursday, temperatures will drop closer to seasonal averages, with the plains remaining in the upper 40s. The next major system will bring potential precipitation to the mountains and plains from Friday night into the weekend, with some models suggesting the possibility of an Arctic outbreak in mid-February.
