Today, the eastern plains will see sustained westward winds blowing between thirty and forty miles per hour and gusts of upwards of 65 miles per hour, according to local forecasts. The high winds will likely last from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and be strongest in areas further east, including Limon, Fort Morgan and Sterling.

It will be a little calmer and cooler Wednesday, with high temperatures in the low to mid 30s. There's a chance for a few spotty showers across the Eastern Plains Wednesday night.

More snow showers are coming in the high country, meanwhile partly cloudy skies are likely in Denver weather with a slight chance of an isolated snow shower.

A potent winter storm is set to hit Colorado on Tuesday, bringing blinding snow squalls in the mountains and fire danger.

Gusty winds and spotty showers today; foothills under a High Wind Watch tonight. Secure loose items and expect travel delays.
