Denver, CO – Strong winds and blowing snow are forecast to impact the Denver and Boulder areas this evening, creating hazardous travel conditions in the region.

According to the National Weather Service Denver/Boulder, gusts of up to 60 mph are expected in and near the foothills as a mountain wave develops. The higher foothills and Front Range Mountains may see blowing snow, reducing visibility and making travel dangerous.

The advisory highlights particular concern for areas along the Peak to Peak Highway, where the wind-prone conditions could create hazardous crosswinds and icy spots. Drivers are urged to exercise caution, especially in the foothills and mountainous areas.

These conditions are expected to persist through tonight. Travelers should avoid unnecessary trips or plan for delays. Use extreme caution when driving high-profile vehicles, as crosswinds may be severe.
