🚨 HIGH WIND WARNING - Colorado Weather 3/14 - Evening

Good evening. Colorado. I'm Michael Mosby. Happy Saturday, folks. We're watching a weather whiplash event today, the state is split in two. The Front Range is under a **Red Flag Warning until 9 P.M.** tonight. Strong winds and low humidity mean any spark could take off, but don't get used to the warmth. A powerful cold front is blasting through the state tonight. The Front Range sees rain changing to snow between **midnight and 3 A.M.**. Temperatures plummet overnight. You'll wake up to about **26 degrees** in Denver, with wind chills making it feel like **13 degrees**. Sunday brings a high near **34 degrees**, but strong north winds will make it feel much colder. Down on the Palmer Divide and Southern Front Range, the weather gets intense. The cold front blasts through around **2 A.M.**, expect rain and snow showers likely around **3 A.M.**. Watch for a flash freeze on roads as temperatures drop suddenly, highs Sunday only reach **36 degrees** in Colorado Springs. As the sun sets. The mountains are dealing with a different beast, heavy snow and whiteout conditions are expected tonight. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until **9 A.M. Sunday**, dangerous travel is likely over Vail Pass and Rabbit Ears Pass. Meanwhile, the Western Slope stays mostly dry and windy tonight with a low near **30 degrees**. Looking ahead, the pattern flips completely, while we go from the 30s on Sunday to the 70s by Tuesday. Record-breaking heat is possible by Thursday, with highs nearing **85 degrees**, with that's a **50-degree temperature swing** in less than four days. Charge your phone battery before bed—this cold will drain it fast. — See you tomorrow.
