"Colorado Braces for Frigid Temperatures and Feet of Snow in Coming Days"

Colorado is set to experience windy conditions on Wednesday with temperatures in the upper 30s and low 40s, but strong gusty winds reaching up to 45 miles per hour. Light snow is expected on Thursday in the Denver metro area and Eastern Plains, with heavier snowfall in the mountains. A surge of Arctic air will bring plummeting temperatures and dangerous wind chills over the weekend, with snowfall continuing in the mountains and spreading to lower elevations. Wind Chill Advisories and Watches are in effect for the Eastern Plains, with temperatures expected to drop as low as 35 below zero, posing a risk of frostbite. The Arctic air is forecasted to retreat by Tuesday, allowing temperatures to warm closer to freezing.
