GREELEY, COLORADO — A sharp cold front dropping south out of Wyoming and Nebraska is sweeping through northern Colorado, bringing gusty winds, rapidly falling temperatures, and a developing band of rain and snow across parts of the region.
Conditions behind the front have already turned noticeably colder, with temperatures dropping into the 20s and 30s along the Cheyenne Ridge, while readings around Greeley have fallen to the lower 40s as the system moves through.
Cold Front Pushing South Through Northern Colorado
Meteorologists report the front is currently moving south across Colorado after passing through portions of Wyoming and Nebraska, bringing increasing wind and cooler air into the region.
Behind the boundary, strong northerly winds are creating gusty conditions while helping push colder air deeper into northern Colorado. This colder air mass is allowing precipitation to transition from rain into a mix of rain and snow, particularly across higher elevations and northern areas near the Wyoming border.
