Snow and blowing winds could create adverse driving conditions throughout the Denver metro Monday morning.
Snow is expected to start falling after 5 a.m., with gusts potentially topping out at 23 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
The total accumulation is expected to be around an inch and should stop by 10 a.m. The high is not expected to reach above freezing and the high winds will continue Monday afternoon. Monday evening the low is slated to dip to 10 degrees.
By Tuesday the high will reach 38 degrees and winds are expected to die down, according to the National Weather Service.
The past week saw two snow storms that caused road closures and delays across Denver and Eastern Colorado. With the expected high winds, the National Weather Service cautioned truckers and drivers with high-profile vehicles to pull over as to not get toppled by the winds.
The rest of the week has a sunny-and-clear forecast. Wednesday is expected to have a high of 43 degrees and a low of around 20. Thursday is forecasted to have a high near 50 and a low around 25.
A cold front is moving through the plains right now with gusts up to 55 mph behind it. If you are traveling in a high profile vehicle, consider pulling over until the strongest winds subside. We r concerned for those traveling on I-70 as winds are perpendicular to the road.
