From Windy to Warm: Colorado Prepares for Strong Gusts and Unusually High Temperatures to Kick Off February!

Hey Colorado, winter’s taking a break—but the wind isn’t! February is starting off warmer than usual, with temps that feel like spring and gusty winds that could make things a little chaotic. Here’s what you need to know:

Saturday, February 1:

  • Denver: Expect a mix of sun and clouds, with highs around 58°F (14°C). By evening, temps will dip to a cool 32°F (0°C)—perfect for a cozy night in.
  • Colorado Springs: Mild and partly cloudy, with highs near 58°F (15°C). Overnight, temps will settle around 36°F (2°C).
  • Fort Collins: Partly sunny with highs hitting 56°F (13°C). A light breeze will linger, and evening temps will drop to around 30°F (-1°C).

Sunday, February 2:

  • Denver: Even warmer! Highs will hit 64°F (18°C) under partly sunny skies. Temps will cool to about 45°F (7°C) by night.
  • Colorado Springs: A gorgeous day with highs near 66°F (19°C). The evening will be mild, with temps around 44°F (7°C).
  • Fort Collins: Cloudy but still warm, with highs near 55°F (13°C). Watch for a slight chance of rain showers in the evening, possibly turning to a mix of rain and snow overnight. Lows will dip to 29°F (-2°C).

What You Should Know:

  • Strong winds: Gusts could cause some headaches, especially in open areas or higher elevations. Hold on to your hats!
  • Unseasonably warm weather: We’re talking highs that are 10-15 degrees above normal—definitely a good time to get outside.
  • Possible Sunday night rain/snow mix: If you’re in Fort Collins, keep an eye on the skies later in the evening.

How to Stay Safe:

  • Secure outdoor items: Strong winds can knock over patio furniture, trash cans, and other loose items—so tie them down.
  • Be fire-aware: Dry, windy conditions are a recipe for wildfires. Avoid outdoor burning, and be careful with grills and fire pits.
  • Stay updated: Colorado’s weather can change in a flash, so check for updates in case things shift.

Enjoy the warm start to February, Colorado! Get outside and soak up the sunshine, but don’t forget—this is Colorado, so winter could come knocking again any day now. 🌬️🌞
