Denver, CO – A fast-moving storm system will bring snow, strong winds, and hazardous travel conditions to Colorado this week. Residents across the Front Range should prepare for rapidly changing weather, with mountain snow and wind gusts up to 65 mph creating dangerous conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, mountain areas will see snow throughout the day Sunday, leading to slick roads and reduced visibility. The plains will experience strong winds and scattered rain showers, with gusts of 55-65 mph expected. Another system arriving Tuesday into Wednesday may bring more widespread snow, affecting both travel and commuting conditions.
Sunday will be sunny and mild in Denver, with a high near 63°F, but breezy winds could make outdoor plans challenging. Monday, St. Patrick’s Day, will see highs in the mid-70s, but increasing fire danger due to dry and windy conditions. By Tuesday, temperatures will drop, with a chance of rain and snow in the evening.
Residents should stay updated on road conditions, particularly along I-70 and I-25, where high winds and snow may cause delays. Those in fire-prone areas should be cautious with outdoor activities on Monday.
Looking ahead, temperatures will rebound later in the week, with highs in the mid-to-upper 50s by Thursday and Friday. Stay weather-aware and plan accordingly for changing conditions.
