Denver, CO – The Front Range is howling this morning as powerful winds topping 80 mph roar down from the mountains, rattling rooftops and bending tree limbs from Boulder to Castle Rock. The National Weather Service has issued a High Wind Warning through late Thursday morning for foothill and mountain communities across northern and central Colorado.
Travelers along I-70 and U.S. 285 should expect difficult driving conditions, especially for high-profile vehicles. Winds will gradually ease by afternoon, but not before gusts exceeding 50 mph sweep across open plains and metro corridors. A few light snow showers earlier in the mountains have tapered, leaving dry, clear skies through the rest of the day.
Meteorologists note that warm, dry weather will dominate through the weekend. Temperatures climb into the low 60s in Denver and mid-50s in the foothills, with calmer winds by Friday afternoon. Early next week stays mild and mostly sunny, offering a welcome break for pre-holiday errands and outdoor plans.
