Let's start things out with those wind gusts. This is a potentially pretty rare event. This is not just a blustery day or even a windy day when we're talking about gusts like these, or at least for this long with these wind gusts. Perhaps in the range of 80, 90 miles an hour, and around Boulder and the western foothills, just outside of Denver, we could be talking about winds that we haven't seen for a couple of years here, folks. So please take this seriously, and also a couple of things you can do to prepare right now for this. Bring inside those holiday ornaments. I know. Goodbye, inflatable Santa.

Unless you wanna see it blow away to Lyman or perhaps even into Kansas. And don't drive a high-profile vehicle either. Also, charge up those cell phones in case you lose power, especially for the Boulder-Golden-Arvada corridor. That could be. Looking at those strongest winds.
