Another blustery day with low humidity has triggered a red flag warning Tuesday along the Front Range.

It will be sunny with a high temperature around 51 degrees, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder.

Winds out of the west could gust up to 55 mph. The red flag warning will be in place between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Tuesday, according to the weather service.

The Federal Aviation Administration grounded commuter flights at Denver International Airport at 7:30 a.m. because of high winds.

High winds along the northern Front Range foothills could reach 75 mph. Scattered snow and blowing snow will make travel difficult in the mountains, according to the NWS. Balmy temperatures are expected along the Front Range for the remainder of the week.

It will be mostly sunny with highs in the mid-to-upper 60s Wednesday through Friday.

Temperatures will dip somewhat on Saturday with a high of around 61 under partly cloudy skies. On Sunday, the high will be around 66 degrees, according to the NWS.
