Prepare for Dangerous Cold and Wind Chill...
Tuesday and Wednesday will stay relatively mild with near-average daytime highs. Wind will get increasingly gusty, especially Wednesday, as a mass of very cold Arctic air closes in on eastern Colorado. By late Wednesday, we'll start to see a few snow showers popping up in the afternoon and the wind will pick up, with gusts at 25 to 35 mph. The Arctic air rolls in late Wednesday night into Thursday, with lows going well below zero for most of our area. Combined with the wind, it'll feel more like -35 to -50 occasionally. Thursday's highs will be near zero throughout the Foothills with extremely cold wind chills continuing. Again Thursday night, the lows will drop well below zero with dangerous wind chills. The wind will start calming down on Friday, and temperatures will begin to moderate, as the cold air mass moves east. Still cold, but not "as" cold for Christmas weekend.
