MANY ARE OPERATING BUSINESS AS USUAL. I'M NICOLE BRADY REPORTING. > IT IS A WEATHER-ACTION DAY, AND THE ACTION IS WIND. >> CHIEF METEOROLOGIST MIKE NELSON JOINS US LIVE. MIKE? >> HEY, GUYS, LET'S BREAK THIS DOWN FOR TOMORROW. THE MAIN WIND EVENT IS FROM 9:00 WITH THE WORST OF IT RIGHT AROUND MIDDAY. NOW, AS THIS SYSTEM COMES IN, WE COULD HAVE 100-MILE PER HOUR GUSTS IN THE FOOTHILLS, JEFFERSON COUNTY, BOULDER COUNTY, LARIMER COUNTY. WIND DAMAGE IS CERTAINLY LIKELY WITH THAT. POWER OUTAGES ARE POSSIBLE, DIFFICULT DRIVING CONDITIONS, BLOWING DIRT AND DUST ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS. NOW, FOR THIS EVENING, YOU'VE GOT

A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO BATTEN THINGS DOWN AHEAD OF IT. IT WILL BE A LITTLE BREEZY AND MILD AND PARTLY CLOUDY. 50 AT 7:00 P.M. 42 BY 11:00 P.M. LOOK AT THE HIGHS TODAY. 67 IN DENVER. 71 DOWN AT LA HUNTA. OUR 67 WAS NOT QUITE A RECORD, BUT IT WAS CLOSE. THE RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE 70 BACK IN 2010. 44 IS THE AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE, AND RIGHT NOW IT'S STL IL55 AT OUR STUDIOS. 49 AT THE AIRPORT. THE PRESSURE FALLING IN ADVANCE OF THIS SYSTEM. WINDS OUT OF THE EAST-SOUTHEAST. HERE'S THE STORM MOVING IN TO UTAH RIGHT NOW. SAME ONE THAT DROPPED ALL THAT HEAVY RAIN AND SNOW AND CALIFORNIA YESTEARDY.

AS IT COMES IN WINDY AND MILD AHEAD OF IT. BY MORNING, HEAVY SNOW COULD BE FALLING 2-3 INCHES PER HOUR FOR A FEW HOURS IN THE MOUNTAINS. ON THE PLAINS, THE WINDS START TO PICK UP FROM THE SOUTH. THAT KEEPS OUR TEMPERATURES UP TONIGHT. 35 IN DENVER. SOME 40S, EVEN 50 DOWN AT SPRINGFIELD IN THE EASTERN PLAINS. MOSTLY TOS IN THE MOUNTAINS. IT WILL BE WINDY AND SNOWY IN THE MOUNTAINS BY DAYBREAK. IT WILL BE WINDY AND DRY ON THE PLAINS. LET'S REALLY SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENS TOMORROW MORNING. THIS IS 6:00 A.M. STRONG, SOUTH WINDS, HEAVY SNOW IS IN THE MOUNTAINS UP ON THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE.

HERE COMES THE FRONT BY 9:00 A.M. STRONG WINDS FROM THE SOUTH. HEAVY SNOWS CONTINUE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND TAPER OFF A LITTLE BIT. THE FRONT RACES THROUGH, AND WE GET WEST WINDS 50-75 MILES PER HOUR. STRONGEST EXPECTED TO BE WEST OF I-25, STILL SNOWY AND WINDY IN THE MOUNTAINS. BY 3:00 P.M. THE STRONGEST WINDS SHIFT OUT OF THE EASTERN PLAINS. THE SNOW SHOWERS DIMINISHING IN THE MOUNTAINS, AND BY LATE IN THE DAY THE WINDS DIMINISH. THE SNOW SHOWERS STARTING TO COME TO AN END. TOMORROW'S A COLD DAY. ONLY 48 DEGREES, BUT IF WE GET FIRES WITH THE WINDS THEY'LL RAPIDLY SPREAD. AS FAR AS SNOW IT'S ALL IN THE

MOUNTAINS. 3-6 TO THE NORTH. NOTHING ON THE PLAINS. HERE'S YOUR 7-DAY FORECAST. FOR TOMORROW IT'S 48, VERY WINDY, AN ACTION DAY. ON THURSDAY, MOSTLY SUNNY AND 50. NOT NEARLY AS WINDY. FRIDAY, SATURDAY ARE NICE. NICEST DAY IN THE 7-DAY JUST IN TIME FOR THE BRONCOS AGAINST THE BENGALS, AND THEY'LL HAVE TEMPERATURES IN THE MID-50S AT KICKOFF. DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 40S LATE IN THE GAME. AND THEN IT'S DRY AGAIN AND A COOL EARLY MONDAY AND BACK TO 52 MOSTLY SUNNY ON TUESDAY. WATCH OUT FOR THE WINDS.
