DENVER, Colorado – The early morning air feels sharp and restless across the Front Range, carrying that familiar mix of dust, chill, and motion that signals changing weather in Colorado. Winds will crank up today as a passing disturbance sweeps across the state, pushing gusts near 55 mph along the foothills and northeast plains.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, strong west to northwest winds will develop through the day, especially along I-70 between Golden and Georgetown and across open areas east of Denver. Mountain flurries may briefly whiten peaks above 9,000 feet, but accumulations will stay minimal. The biggest concern is for travelers and high-profile vehicles, as crosswinds could make driving tricky through exposed passes and plains.
Conditions calm sharply by Sunday with lighter winds, cooler highs in the upper 40s to low 50s, and clear skies by evening. Monday begins a remarkable rebound—sunny and near 71°F, part of a broader warm November stretch that could set early-week temperature records across central and southern Colorado.
For now, residents should secure loose outdoor items, delay burning, and prepare for brief powerline or travel disruptions through tonight. The upcoming week promises mild, dry weather ideal for Veterans Day events, leaf cleanup, or early holiday decorating before longer-range models hint at another cold push toward mid-November.
