Extreme Weather Alert: High Winds and Heavy Snowfall Cause Dangerous Road Conditions in Colorado
The National Weather Service has issued a high wind warning for areas in the foothills and Front Range mountains, with winds between 35 and 45 mph and gusts of up to 80 mph expected. This could lead to reduced visibility and snow-covered roads, prompting the Colorado Department of Transportation to urge caution for drivers on Interstate 70 and U.S. Route 6. Some areas have already experienced strong gusts, with wind speeds reaching 88 mph in Coal Creek Canyon and 74 mph in Berthoud Pass.
