"Denver Braces for Extended Power Outages and Flight Disruptions Due to Severe Wind Conditions"
The high wind warning has expired for Denver and metro communities, but extreme gusts are still possible in Colorado, with winds reaching 30 to 40 mph and gusts up to 70 mph. Downed trees and power lines remain a concern, and critical fire danger conditions exist. Some areas are under red flag warnings, and the highest winds reported over the weekend have reached up to 91 mph in various counties. A gradual warm-up is expected in the metro this week.
