DENVER — High winds are a concern across Colorado on Wednesday as gusts up to 90 mph are expected in areas above 9,000 feet. Along with the wind threat in the mountains and foothills, up to 75 mph wind gusts are possible in the lower elevations of the foothills and areas west of I-25.
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Boulder called the system a “high impact wind event” and up to 60 mph gusts are possible across the northern plains.
Along with the high winds, expected to roll through by late mid-morning, dry conditions will also fuel a higher fire danger in the Denver metro area Wednesday…
