DENVER — Strong gusty winds are impacting Colorado, including the Denver metro area and foothills, on Monday.
Southbound Interstate 25 is closed at 58th Ave in Denver due to a downed sign post, as of 5 a.m. Monday. Alternate routes are advised.
A High Wind Warning is in effect through 6 a.m. Tuesday for the foothills, and until midnight Monday for near the foothills. The National Weather Service in Boulder said strong winds are likely with gusts from 65 to 75 mph.
Loose objects should be secured and commuters need to drive with caution. Travel will be difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles. Watch for winds to cause downed tree limbs and power lines.
Red Flag Warnings and Fire Weather Watches will be in place for the San Luis Valley and southern portions of the Front Range and eastern plains Monday. These areas should watch for strong winds, paired with very dry air, to increase fire danger.
Across the Western Slope and high country, Winter Weather Advisories will be in place for the central and northern mountains through Monday evening. Most areas can expect between 3 to 14 inches of new snow, but the gusty winds will be the biggest impact. Watch for blowing snow to reduce road visibility and cause hazardous travel.
