The National Weather Service in Denver is forecasting a strong storm system today, which is likely to bring mountain snow and turbulent winds across northeast and north central Colorado, impacting travelers according to their latest advisory. The region can expect snow showers mostly before 10 am, with wind speeds ramping up reaching as much as 44 mph in gusts and notably, the plains are not exempt from today's severe weather, with possibilities of rain and snow showers alongside strong wind gusts up to 65 mph in the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.As the focus shifts to the weekend and beyond, the weather outlook indicates a brief calm with mostly sunny skies on Saturday and a high nearing 49 degrees, however warmer, dry, and breezy conditions are expected to heighten fire weather risks on Sunday and into Monday, this raises concerns as another weather system is expected to barrel through the state by Tuesday, potentially bringing snow to the mountains and inviting winter weather impacts upon the lower elevations, including Denver.
The NWS also alerts residents to critical fire weather conditions due to warm temperatures and breezy conditions forecasted for Sunday and particularly Monday, a detail that could spell trouble if not heeded. By Tuesday, the region could see a shift as there's a chance of rain and snow after noon, with breezy conditions continuing and snow possibly mixed with rain by Tuesday night, becoming all snow after midnight as reported by the National Weather Service.Over the next week, the advisory extends to a series of fluctuating weather patterns, while brisk winds and clear nights are set for the weekend, the following days will hold a mix of sunny highs and low temperatures dipping potentially to 23 degrees by Wednesday night, these transitions could hint at the volatile nature of spring weather in Colorado where residents are advised to stay alert to the possibility of snow and prepare for varying conditions.
