Special Weather Statement issued September 17 at 1:21AM MDT by NWS Pueblo CO
Northerly winds are expected to quickly increase early this morning with the arrival of a strong front pushing south across the plains. Winds behind the front are forecast to strengthen as this boundary moves south through El Paso and Pueblo Counties, as well as Crowley and Kiowa counties. Expect similar trends into the Highway 50 corridor and eventually all of the eastern plains through early to mid morning.
Strongest wind gusts of 45 to 55 mph are expected across the area, with even some isolated gusts to 60 mph possible. While these strongest gusts are expected in the 3AM to 8AM time frame, anticipated any one location to only observe these gusts for around 1 to 2 hours. A diminishing trend will occur by mid to late morning today.
Winds this strong could blow around unsecured objects and blow down small tree limbs. Those traveling early this morning should use caution, especially if operating a high profile vehicle, and particularly on west to east oriented roads.
