URGENT: My Mountain Town Weather from Chief Meteorologist Steve Hamilton:
Batten Down The Hatches - High Wind Warning

The National Weather Service in Boulder has issued a High Wind Warning, in effect from 2:00 AM to 5:00 PM Wednesday.

West winds of 35 to 45 mph, with gusts as high as 75 mph are expected. This impacts the Northern and Southern Front Range Foothills. Strong winds will blow unsecured objects around. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages will be possible. Travel will be difficult for high profile vehicles.

My Mountain Town Weather: High Wind Warning Until 5 PM Wednesday...

We'll have a strong high pressure system moving into the Central Rockies on Wednesday. The result will be a steep pressure gradient over the Front Range Foothills. So, the National Weather Service has a High Wind Warning in effect until 5 PM Wednesday for many of our mountain towns. Gusts will be in the 40-45 mph range, but stronger gusts will be possible, especially in wind-prone areas. As for the precipitation possibilities, things look dry through Friday. The next system arrives from the southwest late Friday, and may bring us rain or snow Saturday into Sunday.
