Discussion

An extreme wind event is in store for the foothills and east-facing mountains today with gusts past 55 mph or so. In fact, the ingredients are there for even higher wind gusts in some spots that can reach hurricane-force levels. Locally strong winds will likely spread into the wind-favored lower elevations later today as well. Another high wind event is in the offing for late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning along the Front Range mountains.
