DENVER — Thousands of Xcel Energy customers are without power across the Denver metro area.
According to the company’s outage map , there are 80 outages affecting 4,130 customers across the metro as of 10:42 p.m. on Monday.
One of the largest outages is impacting 2,679 customers near the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. Power is expected to be restored by 11:45 p.m. Xcel did not list a cause of the outage.
The outages come as strong winds push a snowstorm across Colorado .
Heavy snow, along with powerful wind gusts, could lead to blizzard conditions along the Palmer Divide and Eastern Plains. A blizzard warning is in effect through 5 p.m. Tuesday for those areas, which could see wind gusts up to 70 mph and four to 10 inches of new snow.
