You might have to hang onto your hat today!
Strong south winds will increase ahead of an approaching storm. Blowing dust will be likely and strong cross-winds could make travel difficult on east-west roads like Interstates 70 & 80.
The winds will keep it very warm today, but a cold front will move across the area Friday and Saturday with temperatures dropping about 20 degrees lower than what's expected this afternoon. Precipitation will begin in the west tomorrow morning and spread east across the entire area. Valleys will get rain with snow in the mountains dropping down to 6,000 or 6,500 feet by Friday afternoon & evening.
Showers will linger into Saturday. Then warmer, dry weather is expected early next week.
