Snow, fog and wind impact travel across Colorado to start the weekend: Pinpoint Weather Alert Day


DENVER — Friday evening will continue to see pockets of intense snowfall, at times combined with fog and wind, to create travel impacts across the area.

The most impacted travel routes will be those in the mountains and those that lead into Wyoming and Nebraska.

Saturday is a Pinpoint Weather Alert Day due to hurricane-force wind gusts that — combined with snow on the ground — could create ground blizzard conditions.

Wind gusts from 60 to 80 mph will be possible early Saturday for the mountains, midday for the northern Front Range and afternoon for the northeastern quarter of the state.
