Sunny But Gusty Through The Weekend...

Surface low pressure will move east of us on Friday, resulting in gusty wind for most of the foothills. A few areas could get gusts around 35 to 45 mph. In the Morrison
and Evergreen areas, we'll have lower wind speed, but it will still be gusty. Since the wind will be generally down-slope, temperatures will stay fairly mild Friday afternoon.
The next low will cross the Northern Rockies on Friday, staying north of our area. The upper level flow will be from the west, so it looks like more breezy conditions, but
skies will be mostly sunny and temperatures stay mild. With very little moist air around, we are not expecting any rainfall. A cold front will cross Colorado on Sunday, and
that will bring somewhat cooler daytime highs, but fair and breezy weather for the foothills.
